DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What affects the price in Upper Abercanaid
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Upper Abercanaid, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Questions from Upper Abercanaid
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
