Shower tray repair at your home in Ynysforgan
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We are often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. 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 check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Ynysforgan: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ynysforgan. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Ynysforgan, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
