Shower tray repair in Ty-draw

Shower tray repair in Ty-draw without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Ty-draw

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ty-draw. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Ty-draw clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Ty-draw and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: 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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ty-draw use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we’re called out for in Ty-draw

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Comparing quotes

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
