Shower tray repair in Pentire

Shower tray repair in Pentire without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and scratches from cleaning or grit.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Pentire

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Pentire

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we work on in Pentire

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Pentire. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Pentire

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are there extra charges for Pentire?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
