How we handle shower tray repair in Cardiff
A cracked tray must be firmly supported for a repair to last, and we check that before we start. We don’t remove the tray, so your tiles and enclosure aren’t disturbed. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and dull patches and stains where water pools.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Cardiff
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips, and dull patches from limescale and cleaning.

- Scratches and dull patches
- Chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks in the base
- Stains where water pools
