Shower tray repair in Mumbles

What affects the price in Mumbles

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mumbles. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Shower tray repair in Mumbles without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that flexes, we can help, on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Mumbles questions

What happens next?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Mumbles?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Mumbles.

Do you work in Mumbles?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Mumbles and the rest of Swansea. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Mumbles

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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