Specialist Shower Tray Repair& Resurfacing AcrossSouth Wales & The South West
Cracked, holed, stained or flexing shower trays repaired and restored to a watertight, slip-safe finish — usually in a single visit, without removing the tray or disturbing the tiling.
A specialist trade — done properly, the first time.
A failing shower tray is one of the most expensive issues in any bathroom — left alone, it can lead to leaks through ceilings, rotten joists and a complete bathroom rip-out. Specialist tray repair fixes the structural problem, refinishes the surface and restores full waterproofing — for a fraction of the cost and disruption of replacement.
What it is
Structural repair of cracks, holes and flex points using reinforced resin systems, followed by full surface refinishing. The tray is left rigid, watertight and visually like new — without removing tiles, trays, doors or plumbing.
Who it's for
Homeowners with cracked acrylic or stone-resin trays; landlords avoiding bathroom rip-outs; hotels and serviced apartments needing fast turnaround; insurance customers with impact or installation damage.
When it's needed
At the first sign of flex, hairline cracks, water seeping through the tray, stained or worn surfaces, or visible holes. The earlier we intervene, the smaller (and cheaper) the job.
Why a specialist matters
A general handyman or DIY kit will mask the problem but rarely solves the structural flex that caused the crack. Specialist resin reinforcement removes the flex permanently, then the refinishing seals the surface — giving you a tray that performs like new.
Small problems rarely stay small.
Shower trays fail for a reason — usually inadequate support beneath the tray or material fatigue. Once water gets through, the damage compounds quickly and quietly, often only becoming visible when a downstairs ceiling is already wet.
The risks of leaving it
- Hidden leaks rotting floor joists and ceiling plasterboard below
- Mould growth inside the bathroom floor void — a serious health risk
- Cracks expanding under load until the tray becomes unusable
- Insurance disputes over delayed repair of known damage
- Full bathroom replacement at £5,000–£10,000+ once water damage spreads
- Permanent staining as cleaning chemicals soak into damaged surfaces
Common mistakes we see
- Sealing cracks with silicone — it traps moisture and accelerates damage
- Using filler kits that crack again within weeks under foot pressure
- Removing the tray unnecessarily, damaging tiles, doors and plumbing
- Painting over discolouration with bath paint that won't survive a shower
- Ignoring small cracks until the floor below is already damaged
A clear, controlled, repeatable system.
Inspect
We diagnose the cause of the damage — material fatigue, inadequate bedding, impact, or installation flex.
Reinforce
Cracks and holes are routed, undercut and rebuilt using reinforced two-part resins — eliminating flex.
Prepare
The surface is degreased, sanded and keyed for maximum coating adhesion under wet conditions.
Refinish
Industrial polyurethane is sprayed in multiple coats for a hard, glossy, watertight finish.
Test & Hand Back
We test, hand back with care instructions.
Concrete benefits, not vague promises.
No bathroom rip-out
Tray, tiles, doors and plumbing all stay put — the repair is done in situ.
Watertight in a day
Most trays are repaired and refinished in 4–6 hours. Showering possible within 24 hours.
Removes flex permanently
Reinforced resin doesn't just patch — it solves the underlying structural problem.
Stain and limescale resistant
Sealed industrial coating resists soap scum, limescale and shampoo staining.
Insurance-friendly documentation
We provide written reports and invoices suitable for insurance claims.
