Shower tray repair near Tre-Forgan

Shower tray repair in Tre-Forgan, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and scuffs and light scratches.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Do you need shower tray repair in Tre-Forgan?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Tre-Forgan questions

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you work in Tre-Forgan?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Tre-Forgan. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
