Shower tray repair in Pont Rhyd-y-cyff

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How we handle shower tray repair in Pont Rhyd-y-cyff

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

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

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Pont Rhyd-y-cyff, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
