Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Older homes around Monkswood may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.

Shower tray repair at your home in Monkswood
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix a crack across the base and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.
Homes around Monkswood frequently have showers added to older buildings, so we check how the tray is supported before repairing.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Monkswood questions
Will you travel to Monkswood?
Yes, we do: small places like Monkswood are covered as standard. Just mention any tricky access.
Can you fix shower trays in a rental near Pontypool and New Inn station?
Yes. Send photos and the address, and we will quote, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Monkswood?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NP15 postcode.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy. In a village or hamlet like Monkswood, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Monkswood
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
When to call us in Monkswood

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
