Shower tray repair near Gelli-groes

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Shower tray repair at your home in Gelli-groes

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and a cracked shower tray.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

When to call us in Gelli-groes

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book
