Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Tre-Gibbon

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Tre-Gibbon

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need shower tray repair in Tre-Gibbon?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
