About our shower tray repair in Rachub
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rachub as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Rachub
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you come to Rachub?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rachub and the rest of Gwynedd. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Rachub
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rachub. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

When to call us in Rachub
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
Repairing versus replacing in Rachub
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
