Shower tray repair in Gilfach without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches in the surface, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Most customers in Gilfach get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Gilfach
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Herefordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we are called out for in Gilfach
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
What your quote should include
