Shower tray repair in Cwmcarn, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Cwmcarn
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
