Shower tray repair in Rhyd-y-foel, done in place

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. We work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Do you need shower tray repair in Rhyd-y-foel?

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Conwy and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Rhyd-y-foel

Are you accredited?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Rhyd-y-foel?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Rhyd-y-foel

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
