Shower tray repair for Tŷ Sign homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Tŷ Sign

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you are dealing with a damaged area around the waste and scuffs and light scratches, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tŷ Sign and across Caerphilly.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Tŷ Sign: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you cover Tŷ Sign?

We do. Technicians travel to Tŷ Sign from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Tŷ Sign?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Tŷ Sign

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repairing versus replacing in Tŷ Sign

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Tŷ Sign

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
