Your questions about shower tray repair in Penponds
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Penponds
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Penponds
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
