DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Mumbles as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for The Mumbles. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
