About our shower tray repair in Cosmeston

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and staining and dullness across the tray, across ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

In a village like Cosmeston, showers are frequently later additions to older homes, so we check how the tray is supported before repairing.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cosmeston

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface

Rented homes near Penarth station (about 1.5 miles north) change hands often, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use. Somewhere as small as Cosmeston, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Older homes around Cosmeston may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Cosmeston get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
