Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Shower tray repair in Garn-yr-erw, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches in the surface, across enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Garn-yr-erw questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Fixed prices from your photos
See our prices page.

How the visit works

- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
