Shower tray repair in Y Fron

Shower tray repair in Y Fron, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and damage around the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, 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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Y Fron?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our full price list.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gwynedd and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LL54 postcode.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
