Shower tray repair in Eglwys-Brewis, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting, in acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Eglwys-Brewis questions

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Eglwys-Brewis

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Eglwys-Brewis

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace in Eglwys-Brewis?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
