Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Hengoed, Caerphilly
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing for homes and businesses in Hengoed and across Caerphilly. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage around the waste
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
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.
Shower tray repair in Hengoed without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Hengoed
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Hengoed?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hengoed use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Hengoed
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hengoed. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole shower tray
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we are called out for in Hengoed

What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hengoed. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
