How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Waunfawr

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
