Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we’re called out for in Tal-y-bont

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

FAQs for Tal-y-bont

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Tal-y-bont?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
