Shower tray repair in Pontyates without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that flexes, we can help, whatever the material.
Homes around Pontyates often have showers added to older buildings, and we always check the tray’s support first.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it. In a village or hamlet like Pontyates, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- 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.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Older homes around Pontyates may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Pontyates
Do you come out to small places like Pontyates?
Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, with the same prices as anywhere else.
Can you repair shower trays in a rental near Kidwelly station?
Yes, we often work between tenancies, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the whole of Carmarthenshire?
All of Carmarthenshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

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. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin

When to call us in Pontyates
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you care for a building such as Ysgol G. Mynyddygarreg, changing-room showers can be repaired in place too.
