Shower tray repair in Cwmdu, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re often asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

The price 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 booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Cwmdu

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

Cwmdu questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Cwmdu.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cwmdu as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
