What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pwll-coch
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What else we do in Pwll-coch
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Pwll-coch: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Pwll-coch included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
