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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Cwmgwrach

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cwmgwrach

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are you accredited?

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

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Neath Port Talbot and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cwmgwrach. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cwmgwrach, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
