About our shower tray repair in Lower Maes-coed

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and movement when you stand on it, across acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Lower Maes-coed: your questions answered

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Repair or replace in Lower Maes-coed?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

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 it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we are called out for in Lower Maes-coed

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
