Shower tray repair for Dyffryn homes

Shower tray repair in Dyffryn, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are edge chips from dropped bottles and cracks running from the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Dyffryn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace in Dyffryn?

Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Dyffryn: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Dyffryn?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common problems we fix in Dyffryn

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

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

  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
