Shower tray repair in Cribyn without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles, across cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
Keep an eye on the sealant, 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, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. 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.

FAQs for Cribyn
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you cover Cribyn?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cribyn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Repair or replace in Cribyn?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cribyn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.
