Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tal-y-bont. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material
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. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What we are called out for in Tal-y-bont
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims
- A crack across the base

Should you replace it?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 typically the cheaper route.
