What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
About our shower tray repair in Wrexham
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, across ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Wrexham
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Wrexham is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When to call us in Wrexham
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that flexes
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wrexham
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Wrexham
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll 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 whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
