Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Trealaw
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Trealaw. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Trealaw
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the entire of Rhondda Cynon Taff?
All of Rhondda Cynon Taff, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Trealaw. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Trealaw and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
