How we handle shower tray repair in Llwynderw

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and scuffs and light scratches.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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

Questions from Llwynderw

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Powys. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Llwynderw

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts
