Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-y-wern

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-y-wern use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Pen-y-wern

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

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

Do you cover Pen-y-wern?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Pen-y-wern and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When to call us in Pen-y-wern

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Pen-y-wern get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
