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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Shower tray repair in Ynysawdre, done in place

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CF32 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Ynysawdre: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- 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 toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
