Repair or replace: which is better?

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Shower tray repair at your home in Marcroes
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and a crack across the base, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

About Marcroes
Marcroes (Welsh: Marcross) is about 7 miles south of Bridgend, in the Vale of Glamorgan. From the centre of Marcroes to the outlying streets, the service is the same: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. Our repair technicians cover all 67 towns and villages across the Vale of Glamorgan, from the larger towns to small villages.
We work across CF61. If you’re just outside Marcroes, we cover Sain Dunwyd (1 mile east), Broughton (1 mile north), Tre-pit (2 miles north), Wick (2 miles north) and Clemenstone (3 miles north).

Near you in Marcroes
Our clients here include homes close to Horseshoe Inn and Church of the Holy Trinity, among other places. The nearest railway station is Llantwit Major station, roughly 3.1 miles east. Further afield, we also cover the area around Nash Point Old Castle (0.5 miles south-west). The countryside around Marcroes includes Wick Hill.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
FAQs for Marcroes
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do you cover the entire of the Vale of Glamorgan?
All of the Vale of Glamorgan, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover Marcroes?
We do. We send a technician to Marcroes for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, 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.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
