Shower tray repair in Penystrywad

Do you need shower tray repair in Penystrywad?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Shower tray repair in Penystrywad, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scuffs and light scratches.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Powys.

Repair or replace in Penystrywad?

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Penystrywad questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Landlord and trade work in Penystrywad

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
