Shower tray repair for Tan-y-maes homes

Shower tray repair in Tan-y-maes without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and damage from a refit or building work, on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Tan-y-maes

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Tan-y-maes questions

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

What affects the price in Tan-y-maes

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Tan-y-maes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Tan-y-maes?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
