Advice
Shower tray repair in Nantgarw without replacing anything
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. If you are dealing with chips on the edges and staining and dullness across the tray, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Questions from Nantgarw
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Nantgarw?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Nantgarw?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Nantgarw. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Nantgarw. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
