Shower tray repair at your home in Dolau
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and a crack across the base.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the whole UK

Common questions in Dolau
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you work in Dolau?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dolau for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What else we do in Dolau
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Dolau, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Dolau. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
