How we handle shower tray repair in Gowerton

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Common questions in Gowerton

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gowerton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site

See our full price list.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
