About our shower tray repair in Gwern

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Gwern

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

  • Chips caused during fitting
