How we handle shower tray repair in Llanbedr

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chipped corners or rims and scuffs and light scratches.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Llanbedr. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Llanbedr, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

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-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not 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.

Common questions in Llanbedr

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
