Shower tray repair near Talyclun

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

About our shower tray repair in Talyclun

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Talyclun as everywhere else we work.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Talyclun. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Talyclun

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

FAQs for Talyclun

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Carmarthenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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