Shower tray repair for Talybont homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Talybont

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and damage from a refit or building work.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for 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 what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we’re called out for in Talybont

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Cracks running from the waste

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Repair or replace in Talybont?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Talybont.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
