Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llanmaes

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Llanmaes

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Llanmaes questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

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.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
