Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Cwm-Llinau: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the following day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cwm-Llinau. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Cwm-Llinau, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
