Your questions about shower tray repair in Llanaber

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Common problems we fix in Llanaber

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Common reasons people in Llanaber contact us are:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Llanaber, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
