Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
FAQs for Ynystawe
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Do you need shower tray repair in Ynystawe?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- A cracked shower tray

Related advice
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
