Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Pen-clawdd

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Questions from Pen-clawdd

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you cover Pen-clawdd?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Pen-clawdd from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Pen-clawdd included. Travel is included in the price.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Pen-clawdd?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SA4 postcode.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Pen-clawdd

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swansea and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Pen-clawdd

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Pen-clawdd get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
