Shower tray repair in Trefechan, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with scratches in the surface and a tray that flexes, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trefechan

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Ceredigion and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Questions from Trefechan

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover the whole of Ceredigion?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Trefechan. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Trefechan

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What affects the price in Trefechan

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Trefechan. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
