What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gwystre. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Gwystre, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Gwystre

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Powys, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Gwystre

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Gwystre

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
