About our shower tray repair in Cilfynydd
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches from cleaning or grit.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Cilfynydd and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Questions from Cilfynydd
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover Cilfynydd?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cilfynydd and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Cilfynydd
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
