Shower tray repair in Trefeglwys, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from cleaning or grit and chips caused during fitting.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Common questions in Trefeglwys
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to Trefeglwys?
We do. We send a technician to Trefeglwys for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Trefeglwys
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Common reasons people in Trefeglwys contact us are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
