Shower tray repair in Five Wents, done in place
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. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and cracks running from the waste, in stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Different materials, different repairs
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 heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Five Wents
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Five Wents
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Five Wents use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
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 damage the floor below.
