How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Shower tray repair in Pontlliw, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and cracks running from the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

- A tray broken in more than one place

What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
