Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Abercanaid get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What else we do in Abercanaid
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 is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
