Signs you need shower tray repair in Llanfrechfa

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Llanfrechfa questions

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Torfaen.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you cover the whole of Torfaen?

All of Torfaen, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you come to Llanfrechfa?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Llanfrechfa. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Llanfrechfa. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Llanfrechfa clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llanfrechfa

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NP44 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
