Shower tray repair at your home in Gilwern

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that flexes.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Gilwern get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
