How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Tairgwaith, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Tairgwaith
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
