How we handle shower tray repair in Penyard

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Penyard and across Merthyr Tydfil.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Penyard
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Penyard.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CF47 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, 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, where it causes damage you cannot see.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
