Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Common questions in Cefn-coed-y-cymmer
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
