Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic

When to call us in Gwibnant

FAQs for Gwibnant

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Gwibnant

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gwibnant. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
