Shower tray repair in Abercrave without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a crack across the base.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace in Abercrave?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. 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.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Abercrave and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common questions in Abercrave
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Landlord and trade work in Abercrave
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
