Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
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.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Pontllyfni get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How we handle shower tray repair in Pontllyfni
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and chipped corners or rims, in stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common questions in Pontllyfni
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
All of Gwynedd, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pontllyfni
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
