Landlords, agents and businesses in Rhydargaeau
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rhydargaeau use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

About our shower tray repair in Rhydargaeau
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage around the waste, in acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What affects the price in Rhydargaeau
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Questions from Rhydargaeau
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Rhydargaeau?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Do you cover the whole of Carmarthenshire?
We work UK-wide, so Rhydargaeau is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repairing versus replacing in Rhydargaeau
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
