About our shower tray repair in Llwyneliddon

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes, across enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Llwyneliddon

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cardiff and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Llwyneliddon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Questions from Llwyneliddon

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

Does someone need to be in?

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

Are there extra charges for Llwyneliddon?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover the whole of Cardiff?

All of Cardiff, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
