How we handle shower tray repair in Glan-y-nant
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What else we do in Glan-y-nant
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Glan-y-nant
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
