Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

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

Shower tray repair in Llanigon, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Llanigon and across Herefordshire.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanigon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

10 questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Llanigon

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you come to Llanigon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Llanigon and the rest of Herefordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you cover the entire of Herefordshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Llanigon and the rest of Herefordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
