Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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

About our shower tray repair in Heolgerrig

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heolgerrig use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally 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.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When to call us in Heolgerrig

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions from Heolgerrig

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Heolgerrig?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Heolgerrig is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

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. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Repair or replace in Heolgerrig?

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Heolgerrig. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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