The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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 entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
About our shower tray repair in St Mellons
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 so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What else we do in St Mellons
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to St Mellons. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
