About our shower tray repair in Merthyr Dyfan
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

Common problems we fix in Merthyr Dyfan
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

- Whether the price covers travel

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. 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. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
FAQs for Merthyr Dyfan
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How we price shower tray repair
