What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included. In a smaller place like Penydarren, parking is rarely a problem. If you’re down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book and we’ll plan for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.

- A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
