How we handle shower tray repair in Fishguard
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

When to call us in Fishguard
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- Chips on the edges

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
FAQs for Fishguard
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
