Waun-gron questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What we’re called out for in Waun-gron

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Waun-gron

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Waun-gron. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Landlord and trade work in Waun-gron

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swansea and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
