Shower tray repair in Llanblethian without replacing anything
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and damage from a refit or building work, across stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Common questions in Llanblethian
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
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?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you cover the entire of the Vale of Glamorgan?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Llanblethian.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What affects the price in Llanblethian
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Llanblethian. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
