Robertstown: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Robertstown?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Robertstown and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Shower tray repair in Robertstown without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Robertstown
A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
