Shower tray repair at your home in Llanfarian
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Llanfarian: your questions answered
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Llanfarian?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SY23 postcode.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Should you replace it?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanfarian use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
