  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Shower tray repair in Twyn-yr-odyn, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can generally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Twyn-yr-odyn and across Cardiff.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Twyn-yr-odyn

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Twyn-yr-odyn?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
