Common problems we fix in Font-y-gary

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.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Font-y-gary, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Font-y-gary

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Font-y-gary. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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