  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Penybont: your questions answered

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

What affects the price in Penybont

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Penybont. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Penybont and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
