Shower tray repair at your home in Llwchwr

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Llwchwr and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

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 good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Landlord and trade work in Llwchwr

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Llwchwr?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our full price list.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
