Do you need shower tray repair in Fforestfach?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Fforestfach questions

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fforestfach

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fforestfach as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
