About our shower tray repair in Hendreforgan

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners or rims and scratches from cleaning or grit.

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

Hendreforgan questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Do you cover the entire of Rhondda Cynon Taff?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not 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 reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
