Gurnos: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How we handle shower tray repair in Gurnos
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you are dealing with a damaged area around the waste and chips on the edges, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Gurnos, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gurnos use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
When to call us in Gurnos
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A cracked shower tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gurnos. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
