How we handle shower tray repair in Seaside

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage from a refit or building work.

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

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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 generally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

FAQs for Seaside

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Seaside?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you cover the entire of Carmarthenshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Seaside included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Seaside

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Seaside use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
