Shower tray repair in Nant-y-cafn, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Take a look at our full price list.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Nant-y-cafn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nant-y-cafn

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Nant-y-cafn: your questions answered

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you cover Nant-y-cafn?

We do. We send a technician to Nant-y-cafn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Nant-y-cafn

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
