- Repairs from £95

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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 generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we handle shower tray repair in Glandwr
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and a tray that flexes.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Glandwr and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Glandwr
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you come to Glandwr?
We do. We send a technician to Glandwr for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
