Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What we are called out for in Newton

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about shower tray repair in Newton

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Do you work in Newton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Newton and the rest of Cardiff. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Newton.

What affects the price in Newton

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Newton

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
