Shower tray repair in Llanllyfni, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We are frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and damage around the waste, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

FAQs for Llanllyfni
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you cover the whole of Gwynedd?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 generally cheaper.
Where we work around Llanllyfni
Llanllyfni is about 14 miles south-west of Bangor, in Gwynedd. Wherever you are in the LL54 postcode area, a technician comes to you. Llanllyfni is one of 165 towns and villages in Gwynedd where we work. Our nearest city page is Liverpool, about 62 miles away.
Here we cover the LL54 postcode area. From Lon Ty Gwyn, Ffordd Rhedyw and Bryn Rhedyw or a nearby road, we can come to you. Nearby, we also work in Penygroes (1 mile north), Nasareth (1 mile south), Nebo (1 mile south-east), Talysarn (1 mile north-east) and Groeslon (2 miles north). Further out, we also cover Bangor (14 miles north-east), Caernarfon (7 miles north), Bethesda (13 miles north-east), Hirael (15 miles north-east), Upper Bangor (14 miles north-east) and Glanadda (14 miles north-east).
Local landmarks in Llanllyfni
Around Llanllyfni, we work in homes near Quarrymans Arms and St Rhedyw's Church, among other places. Well-known places in the area include Parc Glynllifon (2.4 miles north) and Hen Gastell (3.5 miles north). Not far away are Talysarn Lake and Clogwyn Melyn.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What affects the price in Llanllyfni
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Llanllyfni. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
