Shower tray repair in Penmorfa

How we handle shower tray repair in Penmorfa

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 so the repair blends in. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and cracks running from the waste, we can usually put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Penmorfa. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Penmorfa and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Penmorfa

FAQs for Penmorfa

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover Penmorfa?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Penmorfa from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there any odour?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace in Penmorfa?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
