How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ferndale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Shower tray repair in Ferndale, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and movement when you stand on it.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Ferndale: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you cover the entire of Rhondda Cynon Taff?

We work UK-wide, so Ferndale is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Repairing versus replacing in Ferndale

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ferndale, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
