FAQs for Capel Llanilltern
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Capel Llanilltern?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What we’re called out for in Capel Llanilltern
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Capel Llanilltern
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
