Trusted shower tray repair in Glanwydden

Shower tray repair in Glanwydden without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Glanwydden

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Common problems we fix in Glanwydden

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Glanwydden

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Glanwydden

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

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