The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Aberdovey

Aberdovey: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repairing versus replacing in Aberdovey
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Aberdovey, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
