How we handle shower tray repair in Tre-gynwer

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and a tray that flexes.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Landlord and trade work in Tre-gynwer

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Tre-gynwer

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Tre-gynwer and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What we are called out for in Tre-gynwer

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended

  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
