Shower tray repair near Clydach Vale

About our shower tray repair in Clydach Vale

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage around the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

FAQs for Clydach Vale

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you come to Clydach Vale?

We do. Technicians travel to Clydach Vale from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Clydach Vale, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
