DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Waun-Lwyd. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
