Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rhydypennau. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Rhydypennau get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

Do you come to Rhydypennau?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

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.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we are called out for in Rhydypennau

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
