About our shower tray repair in Pennal

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and scuffs and light scratches, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pennal. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Do you need shower tray repair in Pennal?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Questions from Pennal

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the whole of Powys?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Pennal. Prices do not change with location.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
