Shower tray repair in Twyn Carno

How we handle shower tray repair in Twyn Carno

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and a crack across the base, across ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Twyn Carno and across Blaenau Gwent.

Twyn Carno: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Twyn Carno

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Twyn Carno as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Do you need shower tray repair in Twyn Carno?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
