Shower tray repair near Cefn

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

About our shower tray repair in Cefn

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface, across stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Cefn

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cefn

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wrexham.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Are there extra charges for Cefn?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Common problems we fix in Cefn

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LL14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Cefn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wrexham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
