About our shower tray repair in Tŷ-rhiw
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and a cracked shower tray.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairing versus replacing in Tŷ-rhiw

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tŷ-rhiw. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
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.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
