How we handle shower tray repair in Llanfair-ym-Muallt
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and chipped corners or rims, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LD2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common questions in Llanfair-ym-Muallt
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually cheaper.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
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, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
