Shower tray repair in Porth

Shower tray repair in Porth without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and chips or cracks by the plughole, across acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Porth and across Rhondda Cynon Taff.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Porth: your questions answered

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CF39 postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Porth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, 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. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit
