DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Cefn Fforest

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Cefn Fforest?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NP12 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Cefn Fforest, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Cefn Fforest

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cefn Fforest

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
