How we handle shower tray repair in Machen
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Machen
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
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.
Common questions in Machen
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Landlord and trade work in Machen
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Caerphilly and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Machen, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
