- Repairs from £95

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Shower tray repair in Chwilog without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and chipped corners or rims.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on

When to call us in Chwilog
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
