Trusted shower tray repair in Llyswen

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Shower tray repair in Llyswen without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and scratches from cleaning or grit, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

How to get a fixed price

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Llyswen questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover Llyswen?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Llyswen from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Llyswen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
