How we handle shower tray repair in Gilfach Goch
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and chipped corners or rims, we can help.
In a village like Gilfach Goch, showers are frequently later additions to older homes, so we check how the tray is supported before repairing.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Gilfach Goch get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Gilfach Goch
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Gilfach Goch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
