DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Pontarddulais, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Pontarddulais

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you work in Pontarddulais?

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

When can I use the shower again?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
