How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Shower tray repair in Pwllheli, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about scratches in the surface and chips caused during fitting.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repair or replace in Pwllheli?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Your questions about shower tray repair in Pwllheli

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Pwllheli?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Pwllheli from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pwllheli. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
