About our shower tray repair in Fairwater
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and chips caused during fitting.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fairwater and across Cardiff.

Repairs by material
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.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Do you need shower tray repair in Fairwater?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Fairwater customers choose us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Fairwater: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Are there extra charges for Fairwater?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cardiff. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is there a guarantee?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairwater as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
