Shower tray repair near Rhiwbina

Shower tray repair at your home in Rhiwbina

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rhiwbina as everywhere else we work.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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.

Questions from Rhiwbina

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How soon can you come?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Rhiwbina

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re 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 are there.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
