Shower tray repair at your home in Swanbridge
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
In a village like Swanbridge, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where timber floors can move. A crack is only repaired once we know the tray is firm.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairing versus replacing in Swanbridge
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. In an older home in a village like Swanbridge, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes. Somewhere like Swanbridge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there is no second trip.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole 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.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What affects the price in Swanbridge
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes cost nothing and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Common questions in Swanbridge
I let a flat near Cadoxton station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is generally quicker than replacing.
Do you take on commercial work in Swanbridge?
Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. We’ll agree timings that suit the building.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you cover the whole of the Vale of Glamorgan?
Across the UK, and that includes Swanbridge. Prices do not change with location.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
