How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle shower tray repair in Cwm Talwg
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches from cleaning or grit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common questions in Cwm Talwg
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Cwm Talwg
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.
