What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re 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.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dolwyd. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Dolwyd
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
