Shower tray repair in Neath Abbey without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Do you need shower tray repair in Neath Abbey?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Common reasons people in Neath Abbey contact us include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
