Shower tray repair in Pentrebach, done in place

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 crack does not come back. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and staining and dullness across the tray, in cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Merthyr Tydfil.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Pentrebach

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Your questions about shower tray repair in Pentrebach

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
