Need shower tray repair in Tewin?

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Tewin

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that flexes, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble 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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

What affects the price in Tewin

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Tewin

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

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