Shower tray repair near Penarth Marina

How we handle shower tray repair in Penarth Marina

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit, across stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Penarth Marina and across Cardiff.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

Penarth Marina: your questions answered

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Penarth Marina

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
