How we handle shower tray repair in Y Gelli Gandryll
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and scratches from cleaning or grit, across cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Herefordshire.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in Y Gelli Gandryll
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Y Gelli Gandryll. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Herefordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
