Shower tray repair in Holywell, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and a damaged area around the waste.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we are called out for in Holywell
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface

Questions from Holywell
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Holywell?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
