- Repairs from £95
- Chipped corners or rims
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
How we handle shower tray repair in Penllwyn
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and chips on the edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Penllwyn, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
