Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
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.

Questions from Cwrt-y-defaid
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What affects the price in Cwrt-y-defaid
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cwrt-y-defaid, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
