Shower tray repair at your home in Garden Village
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and people most often call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Garden Village, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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 day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Common questions in Garden Village
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover Garden Village?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Garden Village and the rest of Swansea. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What affects the price in Garden Village
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 normally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
