Shower tray repair in Troedyrhiw, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and damage around the waste, in cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Troedyrhiw
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Troedyrhiw. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Troedyrhiw
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips caused during fitting

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
