Shower tray repair near Maen-y-groes

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Maen-y-groes

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Maen-y-groes. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Do you need shower tray repair in Maen-y-groes?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
