If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips on the edges
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
Shower tray repair at your home in Chancery
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Ceredigion.

Repairing versus replacing in Chancery
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Ceredigion and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Chancery
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
