Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
About our shower tray repair in Plain-an-Gwarry
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Plain-an-Gwarry as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
