Shower Tray Repair in St Athan
Problem with your shower tray in St Athan? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t 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 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.
Shower tray repair in St Athan without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Athan
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we are called out for in St Athan
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Common questions in St Athan
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover St Athan?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to St Athan. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the whole UK

- Colour-matched on site

- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
