What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair in Ynyswen, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste, on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ynyswen. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Ynyswen
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ynyswen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Ynyswen questions
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Common problems we fix in Ynyswen
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
