Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Penyrheol. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Penyrheol. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Penyrheol questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for Penyrheol?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
