What affects the price in Hoel-laethog
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
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.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Common problems we fix in Hoel-laethog
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- A cracked shower tray
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. 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’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
