Shower tray repair in Upper Cwmbrân without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We are often asked to fix chips caused during fitting and movement when you stand on it, across ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Cwmbrân
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Questions from Upper Cwmbrân
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Upper Cwmbrân?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Upper Cwmbrân. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Upper Cwmbrân and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Common problems we fix in Upper Cwmbrân
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that flexes
- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
