Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Y Bala
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Y Bala.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Y Bala is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
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.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
