How we handle shower tray repair in Gibbet Hill

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re frequently asked to fix a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gibbet Hill and across Powys.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Gibbet Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Gibbet Hill

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

  • Cast iron

When to call us in Gibbet Hill

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Common reasons people in Gibbet Hill contact us are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Your questions about shower tray repair in Gibbet Hill

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What affects the price in Gibbet Hill

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gibbet Hill. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

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

Repair or replace in Gibbet Hill?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
