Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Shower tray repair at your home in Troed-y-rhiw Garth

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Troed-y-rhiw Garth. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Troed-y-rhiw Garth, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Troed-y-rhiw Garth

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Troed-y-rhiw Garth

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
