Shower tray repair in Graig-y-Rhacca, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and cracks running from the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
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.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common questions in Graig-y-Rhacca
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Are there extra charges for Graig-y-Rhacca?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Graig-y-Rhacca
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
