Shower tray repair in Ynyswen, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and movement when you stand on it.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Ynyswen questions

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What affects the price in Ynyswen

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ynyswen. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

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 price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common problems we fix in Ynyswen

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base
