Shower tray repair near Merthyr Tydfil

How we handle shower tray repair in Merthyr Tydfil

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste, in enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Merthyr Tydfil

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
