Advice
Shower tray repair in Brinian, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What else we do in Brinian
Repair or replace in Brinian?
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlord and trade work in Brinian
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brinian use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Brinian questions
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
