Shower tray repair in Polgigga

Shower tray repair in Polgigga, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and scratches in the surface.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Polgigga, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Polgigga

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Polgigga. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we are called out for in Polgigga

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

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Polgigga

Do you come to Polgigga?

We do. We send a technician to Polgigga for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Polgigga is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

When can I use the shower again?

Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
