How we handle shower tray repair in Dolgarrog
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 are often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches from cleaning or grit, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Dolgarrog
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dolgarrog. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Dolgarrog, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
