Shower tray repair in Sgwrfa

About our shower tray repair in Sgwrfa

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and damage around the waste.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sgwrfa and across Blaenau Gwent.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sgwrfa

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sgwrfa as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

FAQs for Sgwrfa

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Sgwrfa?

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common problems we fix in Sgwrfa

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
