About our shower tray repair in Tir-Nest
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tir-Nest and across Swansea.

Landlord and trade work in Tir-Nest
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tir-Nest as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swansea and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
