About our shower tray repair in Pentre

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and damage from a refit or building work.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Powys.

FAQs for Pentre

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Pentre and the rest of Powys. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pentre. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Pentre customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place

Signs you need shower tray repair in Pentre

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
