Shower tray repair at your home in Buttrills
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, across cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Buttrills as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Common questions in Buttrills
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Buttrills?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What areas do you cover?
All of the Vale of Glamorgan, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
