Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. 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.
Shower tray repair in Caerau Park, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about movement when you stand on it and scuffs and light scratches.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Caerau Park
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caerau Park as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
