On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
If you manage a building such as Y Bontfaen Primary, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.

Shower tray repair in Cowbridge, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and a cracked shower tray.
In a smaller place like Cowbridge, many showers are in bungalows and family homes, including walk-in showers. A cracked or worn tray can be repaired without lifting it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cowbridge, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy. For a home in Cowbridge, we normally park close by and start immediately, after agreeing the plan with you.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common questions in Cowbridge
Do you work for schools and businesses in Cowbridge?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.
Can you fix shower trays in a rental near Llantwit Major station?
Yes. We fix shower trays between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Around Cowbridge, arranging several trades for a replacement can take a while. A repair needs just one visit.
Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
