About our shower tray repair in Pennington

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic alike.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Pennington

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Before booking anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
