How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Merthyr Mawr

Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. For a rural home like those around Merthyr Mawr, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Merthyr Mawr. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Merthyr Mawr customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Merthyr Mawr

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it. In a village or hamlet like Merthyr Mawr, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CF32 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Merthyr Mawr?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Common reasons people in Merthyr Mawr contact us are:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface

Facilities teams at buildings such as Brynteg Comprehensive School can book us for changing-room showers too.
