How we handle shower tray repair in St David's

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in St David's

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St David's as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we are called out for in St David's

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Is there a call-out fee?

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
