Shower tray repair in Pen Tranch without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen Tranch

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Pen Tranch: your questions answered

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the following day.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

When to call us in Pen Tranch

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
