How we handle shower tray repair in Fairwater
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We’re often asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage around the waste, across enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fairwater and across Torfaen.

What else we do in Fairwater
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Fairwater
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
Common questions in Fairwater
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Fairwater

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Fairwater. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
