Shower tray repair in Heol-y-Cyw without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Heol-y-Cyw questions

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Heol-y-Cyw included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF35 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Heol-y-Cyw

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace in Heol-y-Cyw?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our full price list.

When to call us in Heol-y-Cyw

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Heol-y-Cyw. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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 trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
