Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Groes-wen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

About our shower tray repair in Groes-wen

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Common questions in Groes-wen

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Do you come to Groes-wen?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Groes-wen. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Are there extra charges for Groes-wen?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Groes-wen

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repairing versus replacing in Groes-wen

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
