About our shower tray repair in Pentre-poeth

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and a tray that flexes.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Pentre-poeth

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Pentre-poeth. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When to call us in Pentre-poeth

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
