Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What affects the price in Trehafren

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Trehafren. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

If you are in Trehafren and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing in Trehafren

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  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. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Trehafren

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

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

Trehafren: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the day after.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Do I need to be at home?

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