Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How we handle shower tray repair in Cilgerran

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

Cilgerran: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Ceredigion.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
