Repairing versus replacing in Pentwyn

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site

Shower tray repair in Pentwyn, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we’re called out for in Pentwyn

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Pentwyn

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover Pentwyn?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Pentwyn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pentwyn. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
