What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Cwm-y-glo

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it. For a rural address like Cwm-y-glo, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cwm-y-glo

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. For a rural home like those around Cwm-y-glo, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.
