Shower tray repair near Glyncaled

Common problems we fix in Glyncaled

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Shower tray repair at your home in Glyncaled

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and chipped corners or rims.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Common questions in Glyncaled

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What affects the price in Glyncaled

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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 normally cheaper.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
