For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Llanybydder, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Llanybydder

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Common reasons people in Llanybydder contact us are:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Llanybydder questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Llanybydder. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Llanybydder and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
