Shower tray repair in Newcastle Emlyn without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Newcastle Emlyn and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot

What affects the price in Newcastle Emlyn
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newcastle Emlyn. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
