Shower tray repair in Cilmery

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

About our shower tray repair in Cilmery

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise 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

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Cilmery: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Cilmery?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cilmery

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A damaged area around the waste

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
