Shower tray repair for Llansantffraid homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Llansantffraid

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We are frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Llansantffraid: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llansantffraid

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llansantffraid as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

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

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Llansantffraid

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Llansantffraid

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
