Your questions about shower tray repair in Town
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Will you leave a mess?

Are there extra charges for Town?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Merthyr Tydfil and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Most customers in Town get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
