What we’re called out for in Ynysybwl and Coed-y-cwm
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that flexes

- Aftercare advice

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Ynysybwl and Coed-y-cwm
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Ynysybwl and Coed-y-cwm?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ynysybwl and Coed-y-cwm and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What affects the price in Ynysybwl and Coed-y-cwm
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.
