Shower tray repair in Penelewey, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace in Penelewey?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- 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

Penelewey questions
Do you cover Penelewey?
We do. We send a technician to Penelewey for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
