How we handle shower tray repair in Penarth
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches in the surface and chips caused during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Penarth. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CF64 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Penarth
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Penarth?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work in Penarth?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Penarth and the rest of the Vale of Glamorgan. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
