Shower tray repair in Penn Hill without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it, across cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take 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. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

FAQs for Penn Hill

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Penn Hill?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Penn Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Penn Hill, and we will reply with a fixed price.
