Shower tray repair near Lowlands

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Shower tray repair at your home in Lowlands

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and a tray that flexes.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lowlands and across Torfaen.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lowlands use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we are called out for in Lowlands

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Lowlands: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover the whole of Torfaen?

Across the UK, and that includes Lowlands. Prices don’t change with location.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lowlands. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Lowlands, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
