Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
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.
When to call us in Aberfan
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
