Shower tray repair in Casllwchwr, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Casllwchwr questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Casllwchwr. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
