How we handle shower tray repair in Pen-y-groes
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are often asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes, across ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we are called out for in Pen-y-groes
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry

Pen-y-groes questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
