Shower tray repair near Ruabon

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ruabon

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
