Shower tray repair in Rhigos

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Shower tray repair in Rhigos without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath 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.

Rhigos questions

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

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.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Rhigos included. Travel is included in the price.

Landlord and trade work in Rhigos

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rhigos as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rhigos. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

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

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
