Shower tray repair near Old Bishton

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Shower tray repair in Old Bishton without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and damage around the waste.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Monmouthshire.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We make sure 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 whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Common questions in Old Bishton

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Monmouthshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Old Bishton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Old Bishton

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Old Bishton. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NP16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Old Bishton?

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
