Shower tray repair in Rhyd-y-car, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Rhyd-y-car
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface

What else we do in Rhyd-y-car
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Questions from Rhyd-y-car
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Rhyd-y-car?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Rhyd-y-car?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover Rhyd-y-car?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rhyd-y-car. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?

Are you a vetted contractor?

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Merthyr Tydfil and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
