How we handle shower tray repair in Gwbert

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Gwbert

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gwbert. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • 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 quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

What we are called out for in Gwbert

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We ensure the tray does not 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. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Gwbert: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you come to Gwbert?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gwbert for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
