Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. 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.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we’re called out for in Pen-y-Dre

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
