Shower tray repair for Glan-y-pwll homes

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

Shower tray repair in Glan-y-pwll without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Glan-y-pwll and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

FAQs for Glan-y-pwll

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Glan-y-pwll?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LL41 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

Most customers in Glan-y-pwll 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
