Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Troedrhiw-gwair. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Blaenau Gwent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What your shower tray is made of matters
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 can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NP22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
