About our shower tray repair in Maerdy
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and cracks running from the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Landlord and trade work in Maerdy
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
