Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Questions from Penrhiwfer
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Penrhiwfer, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
