DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Shower tray repair at your home in Yr Olchfa
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Yr Olchfa
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Repair or replace in Yr Olchfa?
A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Yr Olchfa questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Yr Olchfa?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
