About our shower tray repair in Gelligaer
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and chips caused during fitting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Signs you need shower tray repair in Gelligaer
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chipped corners or rims

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Gelligaer
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
