About our shower tray repair in Pen-dre

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Pen-dre

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Pen-dre. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-dre as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
