How we handle shower tray repair in Llanbadarn Fawr
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the edges and scuffs and light scratches, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Llanbadarn Fawr. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
