Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we’re called out for in Tonteg

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tonteg

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

FAQs for Tonteg

Do the materials smell?

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

Do you come to Tonteg?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tonteg from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Do you cover the whole of Rhondda Cynon Taff?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I fix it myself?

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

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

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
