Repairing versus replacing in Pentwyn
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Shower tray repair in Pentwyn, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we’re called out for in Pentwyn
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked shower tray
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Pentwyn
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you cover Pentwyn?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Pentwyn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
