How we handle shower tray repair in Pont-Rhythallt

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a cracked shower tray.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need shower tray repair in Pont-Rhythallt?

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about shower tray repair in Pont-Rhythallt

Do you come to Pont-Rhythallt?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pont-Rhythallt for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What affects the price in Pont-Rhythallt

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
