Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Shower tray repair in Aber Valley, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and cracks running from the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aber Valley: your questions answered
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Aber Valley?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Aber Valley.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
