Shower tray repair in Penyrheol, done in place

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Penyrheol

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Penyrheol. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Penyrheol. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Penyrheol, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penyrheol as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Penyrheol: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
