Shower tray repair near Llangynfelyn

How we handle shower tray repair in Llangynfelyn

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I book?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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 can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When to call us in Llangynfelyn

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
