Shower tray repair in Cwmffrwd

Shower tray repair in Cwmffrwd, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Questions from Cwmffrwd

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Are there extra charges for Cwmffrwd?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

What we are called out for in Cwmffrwd

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Cwmffrwd

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cwmffrwd use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
