Shower tray repair near Pen-y-cae

Shower tray repair in Pen-y-cae without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-y-cae

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pen-y-cae. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
