Shower tray repair in Llandoche, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llandoche

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Llandoche and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we are called out for in Llandoche

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Llandoche questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover Llandoche?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Llandoche for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

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.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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 colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
