How we handle shower tray repair in Llanbadarn Fawr
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Llanbadarn Fawr
How much does shower tray repair cost in Llanbadarn Fawr?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you work in Llanbadarn Fawr?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Llanbadarn Fawr for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the day after.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Llanbadarn Fawr. The price reflects:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
