Shower tray repair in Criccieth

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Criccieth, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

About our shower tray repair in Criccieth

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and damage around the waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Criccieth

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Criccieth?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Gwynedd. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Criccieth.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Criccieth

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Criccieth

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
