Llwyn-y-Pia questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Llwyn-y-Pia?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What affects the price in Llwyn-y-Pia

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently 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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Llwyn-y-Pia

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Llwyn-y-Pia, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
