Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Cyncoed questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Cyncoed included. There is no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Cyncoed

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Cyncoed, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cyncoed use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
