Shower tray repair at your home in Ynysowen
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and chipped corners or rims, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Ynysowen
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
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.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
