How we handle shower tray repair in Glenside
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Caerphilly.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glenside as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Glenside
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
Comparing quotes

What affects the price in Glenside
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Glenside?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Glenside: your questions answered
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Caerphilly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
