Shower tray repair at your home in Torfaen

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish. We work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

What you will pay

Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the damage happens

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Torfaen. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost.

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
