About our shower tray repair in Rhiwlas

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Do you need shower tray repair in Rhiwlas?

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down 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. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
