Shower tray repair for Gellinudd homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gellinudd

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Shower tray repair in Gellinudd, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Gellinudd questions

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Gellinudd?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SA8 postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gellinudd. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

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

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Gellinudd

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
