Shower tray repair for Energlyn homes

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Shower tray repair at your home in Energlyn

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Energlyn

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Caerphilly.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you come to Energlyn?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Energlyn

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
