How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Pentyrch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What affects the price in Pentyrch

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Pentyrch. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Pentyrch

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from photos?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Pentyrch?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How long before I can shower?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Are there extra charges for Pentyrch?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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