Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen questions
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Repairing versus replacing in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

What we are called out for in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
