Shower tray repair in Llanllwchaiarn

Shower tray repair in Llanllwchaiarn, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and a damaged area around the waste, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Llanllwchaiarn. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Llanllwchaiarn, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Llanllwchaiarn: your questions answered

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Powys.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Repair or replace in Llanllwchaiarn?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

When to call us in Llanllwchaiarn

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
