How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive

Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Shower tray repair in Garth without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gwynedd.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Garth
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Garth as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Questions from Garth
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repair or replace in Garth?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
