Shower tray repair at your home in Penywaun

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Penywaun

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our prices page.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Questions from Penywaun

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Common problems we fix in Penywaun

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
