What affects the price in Gilfach
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we are called out for in Gilfach
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A crack across the base
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
