Book shower tray repair in Clwydyfagwyr

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Shower tray repair at your home in Clwydyfagwyr

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Clwydyfagwyr. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Clwydyfagwyr

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Common questions in Clwydyfagwyr

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Clwydyfagwyr

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
