How we handle shower tray repair in Pen-y-bryn
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base, we can generally put it right, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace in Pen-y-bryn?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Pen-y-bryn
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the entire of Bridgend?
All of Bridgend, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you work in Pen-y-bryn?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pen-y-bryn for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-y-bryn
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-y-bryn as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
