How we handle shower tray repair in Wern

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and cracks running from the waste.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

Common problems we fix in Wern

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wern

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wern as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wern. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

If you’re in Wern and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Wern questions

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Carmarthenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
