Shower tray repair in Llandegveth

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Shower tray repair in Llandegveth without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and a cracked shower tray, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newport.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Llandegveth. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Llandegveth

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How long before I can shower?

Normally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you cover the entire of Newport?

We work UK-wide, so Llandegveth is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
