Shower tray repair in Rhondda

Shower tray repair in Rhondda, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and a dull, stained or worn surface.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Rhondda, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Rhondda, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
