Trusted shower tray repair in Cwmpennar

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Cwmpennar, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rhondda Cynon Taff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
