Shower tray repair in Heath, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips on the edges, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We make sure 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 reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Heath
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Should you replace it?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
