Trusted shower tray repair in Penrhiwgarreg

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

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

Ceramic

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

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common problems we fix in Penrhiwgarreg

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Penrhiwgarreg

For anyone letting property in or around Penrhiwgarreg, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penrhiwgarreg as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Penrhiwgarreg. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Penrhiwgarreg. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Penrhiwgarreg and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

Your questions about shower tray repair in Penrhiwgarreg

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Do you cover the whole of Blaenau Gwent?

Across the UK, and that includes Penrhiwgarreg. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
