Shower tray repair at your home in Porth Teigr
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Porth Teigr. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Porth Teigr. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step
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. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the 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 usually usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Common questions in Porth Teigr
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Porth Teigr?
We do. We send a technician to Porth Teigr for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you cover the whole of Cardiff?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Do you need shower tray repair in Porth Teigr?
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
