Shower tray repair in Sardis

About our shower tray repair in Sardis

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and chips caused during fitting, across acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swansea.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Questions from Sardis

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Sardis?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sardis for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sardis

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Sardis, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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

When a repair is not the answer

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

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Sardis

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Sardis

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Sardis

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
