Shower tray repair for Pontnewydd homes

Questions from Pontnewydd

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Pontnewydd is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Pontnewydd?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NP44 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

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

About our shower tray repair in Pontnewydd

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and a crack across the base, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What we’re called out for in Pontnewydd

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pontnewydd. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
