DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Pwll-y-pant

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Caerphilly. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

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.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Common problems we fix in Pwll-y-pant

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, generally along the edges or by the waste.

Common reasons people in Pwll-y-pant contact us include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work
