About our shower tray repair in Aberllefenni
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Aberllefenni
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Aberllefenni. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in Aberllefenni
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips on the edges
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
