Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Shower tray repair in Llanfaes without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and chips or cracks by the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Llanfaes: your questions answered
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Llanfaes?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Llanfaes. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When to call us in Llanfaes
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
