Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Pennington

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Pennington?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Are there extra charges for Pennington?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
