Shower tray repair in Fferws Hill without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and scratches in the surface.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Related advice
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Other services in Fferws Hill
Landlord and trade work in Fferws Hill
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fferws Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

When to call us in Fferws Hill
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
