How we handle shower tray repair in Began
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Began
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
