Discoloured square shower tray restored with a new white finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Efail Isaf

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do you work in Efail Isaf?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Efail Isaf. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

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.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
