How we handle shower tray repair in Derwen
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Derwen. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Derwen
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover the entire of Bridgend?
Everywhere in the UK, Derwen included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover Derwen?
We do. We send a technician to Derwen for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Repair or replace in Derwen?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Derwen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
