How we handle shower tray repair in Pentwyn-mawr

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a cracked shower tray, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Pentwyn-mawr

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

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

FAQs for Pentwyn-mawr

Is it messy?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Pentwyn-mawr?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
