Common problems we fix in Rhydyfelin
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole shower tray
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Rhydyfelin
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
