Shower Tray Repair for Y Fan homes
We travel to Y Fan for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour-matched on site
- Usually one visit, start to finish
See our prices page.
Shower tray repair in Y Fan, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Y Fan
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Y Fan.
Are there extra charges for Y Fan?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Landlord and trade work in Y Fan
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Y Fan use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. 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.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Y Fan, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
