About our shower tray repair in Tirabad
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we are called out for in Tirabad
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Tirabad. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Tirabad get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Common questions in Tirabad
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Powys.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
