Shower tray repair near Gresford

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gresford

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gresford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will 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.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
