Shower tray repair at your home in Cathays
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and a tray that flexes, we can typically put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we’re called out for in Cathays
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
For a price in Cathays, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
FAQs for Cathays
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF24 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why Cathays customers choose us

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Landlord and trade work in Cathays
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
