Shower tray repair for Aberkenfig, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
How we handle shower tray repair in Aberkenfig
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 enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We are frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and edge chips from dropped bottles, in acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Aberkenfig. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aberkenfig: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Aberkenfig?
We do. Technicians travel to Aberkenfig from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
