Questions from Pen-sarn

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Pen-sarn?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pen-sarn. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we’re called out for in Pen-sarn

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Landlord and trade work in Pen-sarn

For anyone letting property in or around Pen-sarn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Repair or replace in Pen-sarn?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better.

What affects the price in Pen-sarn

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
