Shower tray repair near Upper Bangor

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

Shower tray repair in Upper Bangor without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and a tray that flexes, across ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Upper Bangor

How much does shower tray repair cost in Upper Bangor?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
