Shower tray repair for Rhiw homes

About our shower tray repair in Rhiw

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s a crack across the base and chips on the edges, we can normally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Rhiw

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our prices page.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Common problems we fix in Rhiw

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

FAQs for Rhiw

Are there extra charges for Rhiw?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
