Shower tray repair in Tonypandy

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Shower tray repair in Tonypandy without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it, we can help, on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Tonypandy

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the whole of Rhondda Cynon Taff?

We cover the entire UK, including Tonypandy and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

When to call us in Tonypandy

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tonypandy. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Tonypandy and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tonypandy as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
