Shower tray repair in Bleatarn without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and damage from a refit or building work.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bleatarn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
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 check the tray for movement first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we’re called out for in Bleatarn
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Bleatarn
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bleatarn. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
