Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Pen-y-garn: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the entire of Ceredigion?
Everywhere in the UK, Pen-y-garn included. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, 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 work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
What affects the price in Pen-y-garn
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
