What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
When to call us in Ystradowen
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
Your questions about shower tray repair in Ystradowen
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Generally one visit, start to finish

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
