In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and chips on the edges, in ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Llanelli Rural as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

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

What we are called out for in Llanelli Rural

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Llanelli Rural

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

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

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SA15 postcode.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

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

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Repair or replace in Llanelli Rural?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Llanelli Rural

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Llanelli Rural

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price
