Shower tray repair for Tondu homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Tondu

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and movement when you stand on it.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Tondu

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Tondu

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
