Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Princetown, Blaenau Gwent
We travel to Princetown for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- A damaged area around the waste
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic

Princetown questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do you cover Princetown?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Princetown from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
