Shower tray repair in Aberteifi, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Aberteifi and across Ceredigion.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Aberteifi. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Aberteifi get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
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.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Aberteifi, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SA43 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Questions from Aberteifi
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
