Shower tray repair in Rhyd-y-groes, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rhyd-y-groes, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rhyd-y-groes use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
