FAQs for Pennywell
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Pennywell is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Repair or replace in Pennywell?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Pennywell
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
