How we handle shower tray repair in Rhyd-y-clafdy
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and cracks running from the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
When to call us in Rhyd-y-clafdy
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Rhyd-y-clafdy questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
