DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Shower tray repair in Tai'rysgol without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort 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 trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Landlord and trade work in Tai'rysgol
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
