FAQs for Gwern Estyn
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Gwern Estyn.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Landlord and trade work in Gwern Estyn
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gwern Estyn as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
If you’re in Gwern Estyn and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
