About our shower tray repair in Llanfrothen
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We are often asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips on the edges, in stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Llanfrothen. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Llanfrothen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
For a price in Llanfrothen, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

FAQs for Llanfrothen
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Llanfrothen?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
