About our shower tray repair in Ponthir
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. We are frequently asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a dull, stained or worn surface, in stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newport.

FAQs for Ponthir
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you cover Ponthir?
We do. Technicians travel to Ponthir from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole shower tray
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
