How we handle shower tray repair in Gallt-y-foel

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, we can help, on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gallt-y-foel and across Gwynedd.

Common questions in Gallt-y-foel

Do you work in Gallt-y-foel?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gallt-y-foel. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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 you cover the entire of Gwynedd?

Everywhere in the UK, Gallt-y-foel included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I fix it myself?

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Common problems we fix in Gallt-y-foel

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LL55 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
