Shower tray repair in Ynys-fach without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and movement when you stand on it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Your questions about shower tray repair in Ynys-fach
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Ynys-fach and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ynys-fach. What changes the price is:

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ynys-fach. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
