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

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

Questions from Glebeland

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the whole of Merthyr Tydfil?

Across the UK, and that includes Glebeland. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I book?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Glebeland. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Glebeland

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

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

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
