What else we do in Pontardawe
Repairing versus replacing in Pontardawe
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pontardawe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Landlord and trade work in Pontardawe
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
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.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron

Common questions in Pontardawe
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Pontardawe. Our prices are the same everywhere.
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.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
