The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

FAQs for Caerau
Do you cover Caerau?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Caerau for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Caerau. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
