Shower tray repair at your home in Penygraig

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and a damaged area around the waste.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

When to call us in Penygraig

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Penygraig: your questions answered

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

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SA14 postcode.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

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

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penygraig

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
