Repair or replace in Varchoel?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Shower tray repair in Varchoel without replacing anything
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’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Do you need shower tray repair in Varchoel?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What your shower tray is made of matters
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 are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Varchoel
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Powys and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Varchoel questions
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Varchoel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
