FAQs for Cwmdare
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work in Cwmdare?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cwmdare from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Cwmdare?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Cwmdare
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes
- Chipped corners or rims
- A crack across the base

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cwmdare. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cwmdare as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
If you’re in Cwmdare and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
