Shower tray repair in Waunfawr

Landlord and trade work in Waunfawr

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we handle shower tray repair in Waunfawr

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, across enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

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 can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repairing versus replacing in Waunfawr

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Waunfawr

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Send pictures for a quote

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
