How we handle shower tray repair in Gwestydd

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 crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and scratches in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gwestydd use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. 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. Next we clean and prepare the 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 typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Common questions in Gwestydd

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Gwestydd?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
