Do you need shower tray repair in Pontcanna?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Pontcanna
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cardiff.

Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
