Shower tray repair in Tregarth

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Tregarth

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What we are called out for in Tregarth

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Tregarth

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tregarth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
