How we handle shower tray repair in Dowlais
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and scuffs and light scratches.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Signs you need shower tray repair in Dowlais
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
