For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Your questions about shower tray repair in St Nicholas and Bonvilston
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the day after.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
