Shower tray repair in Winchfawr without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Winchfawr
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Winchfawr, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Winchfawr
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the day after.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Winchfawr
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 normally come from dropped bottles.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
