How we handle shower tray repair in Cwmbrân

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and scuffs and light scratches.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Cwmbrân: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you come to Cwmbrân?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cwmbrân. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NP44 postcode.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What we are called out for in Cwmbrân

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Damage around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
