Shower tray repair in Pen-y-maes, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you have a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and cracks running from the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
Rural addresses like Pen-y-maes just need a little planning, and we’ll organise the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. For a rural address like Pen-y-maes, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Questions from Pen-y-maes
Do you take on commercial work in Pen-y-maes?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Send pictures and details of the building.
I let a flat near Flint station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we tidy up before we leave.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Repairing versus replacing in Pen-y-maes
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Older homes around Pen-y-maes may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Pen-y-maes
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you look after a building such as Ysgol Maes-Y-Felin, changing-room showers can be repaired in place too.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes cost nothing and you are under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
