What else we do in Caereithin
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
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 to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Caereithin
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Caereithin?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Swansea?
All of Swansea, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Repair or replace in Caereithin?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
