Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

About our shower tray repair in Pen-yr-heol

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and movement when you stand on it.

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Pen-yr-heol: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Pen-yr-heol?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Pen-yr-heol, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Pen-yr-heol get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
