What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Pontypool questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Torfaen.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Pontypool?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pontypool and the rest of Torfaen. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
