Shower tray repair near Glascoed

About our shower tray repair in Glascoed

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Our technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and scuffs and light scratches.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common questions in Glascoed

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How long before I can shower?

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?

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

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will it make a mess?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace in Glascoed?

The tray is normally 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. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Glascoed, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
