Shower tray repair in Drefach

Shower tray repair at your home in Drefach

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’s the case. We are frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and a dull, stained or worn surface, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Do you need shower tray repair in Drefach?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base

FAQs for Drefach

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Do you cover Drefach?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Drefach. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover the whole of Carmarthenshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Drefach included. Travel is included in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
