What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
How we handle shower tray repair in Llanishen
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Llanishen and across Cardiff.

Common problems we fix in Llanishen
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How do I book?

What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

All of Cardiff, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What affects the price in Llanishen
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Llanishen
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
