Common problems we fix in Penberth

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

How we handle shower tray repair in Penberth

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We are often asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting, across stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Penberth. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Penberth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Penberth questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you cover Penberth?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Penberth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
