Shower tray repair near Cefn Cross

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cefn Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Shower tray repair in Cefn Cross without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and cracks running from the waste, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cefn Cross

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cefn Cross. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
