How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we handle shower tray repair in Fron

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and chipped corners or rims, we can help, on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

What affects the price in Fron

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Fron. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LD1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
