How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Shower tray repair in Chwitffordd without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Chwitffordd: your questions answered

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Flintshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the day after. We will confirm before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How do I book?

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CH8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
