Shower tray repair in Sketty, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches in the surface and chips on the edges.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually 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.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Sketty
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
