About our shower tray repair in Cynffig

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and a damaged area around the waste, in ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Cynffig and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Cynffig

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cynffig

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

When to call us in Cynffig

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF33 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
