How we handle shower tray repair in Gorseinon

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s a crack across the base and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Gorseinon

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

When to call us in Gorseinon

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Gorseinon

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
