Shower tray repair in Splott

About our shower tray repair in Splott

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Splott and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Landlord and trade work in Splott

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Splott, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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 we match repairs to the surface finish.
