Shower tray repair near Mawdlam

Shower tray repair in Mawdlam, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and a cracked shower tray, on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What affects the price in Mawdlam

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Mawdlam, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire 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 entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mawdlam

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mawdlam use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Mawdlam questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are there extra charges for Mawdlam?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
