Shower Tray Repair for Glanwern homes
Our technicians come to Glanwern for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Shower tray repair in Glanwern, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Do you need shower tray repair in Glanwern?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A damaged area around the waste

Landlords, agents and businesses in Glanwern
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Most customers in Glanwern get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Glanwern?

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Glanwern questions
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work in Glanwern?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Glanwern and the rest of Ceredigion. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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 shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
