Shower tray repair for Llwyn-y-brain homes

About our shower tray repair in Llwyn-y-brain

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray, on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Llwyn-y-brain. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Llwyn-y-brain

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
