Shower tray repair in Cowbridge

How we handle shower tray repair in Cowbridge

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Common problems we fix in Cowbridge

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips on the edges

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

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

Repairing versus replacing in Cowbridge

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
