Shower tray repair near Llandderfel

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Llandderfel

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gwynedd.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Questions from Llandderfel

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
