How we handle shower tray repair in Porthgwidden
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Advice
What affects the price in Porthgwidden
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Porthgwidden. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Porthgwidden?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
