FAQs for Glan-rhyd
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Glan-rhyd. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it

When to call us in Glan-rhyd
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
