Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rhyd-y-fro. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SA8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Rhyd-y-fro: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Rhyd-y-fro?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
