DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Llansamlet
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you come to Llansamlet?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Llansamlet from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Llansamlet
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray

- Whether the colour is mixed to match

- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
