DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle shower tray repair in Tal-y-cafn
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s damage around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Tal-y-cafn
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Tal-y-cafn, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tal-y-cafn as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Conwy and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
