How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pentrebane
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Questions from Pentrebane
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cardiff. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long before I can shower?
Usually the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
