Shower tray repair near Porthyrhyd

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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

About our shower tray repair in Porthyrhyd

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a cracked shower tray.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Ceramic

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Porthyrhyd. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Questions from Porthyrhyd

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How long does it take to cure?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
