Need shower tray repair in Ystalyfera?

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

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.

How we handle shower tray repair in Ystalyfera

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and chips or cracks by the plughole.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ystalyfera

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ystalyfera as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Ystalyfera?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Ystalyfera

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
