Shower tray repair for Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn homes

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we are called out for in Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Powys and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn
