Shower tray repair for Pentrebach homes

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Shower tray repair in Pentrebach, done in place

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you’re dealing with a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Pentrebach: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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 colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Pentrebach

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need shower tray repair in Pentrebach?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Pentrebach

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK

Read our pricing.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Pentrebach, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pentrebach use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
