Trusted shower tray repair in Pontprennau

Shower tray repair at your home in Pontprennau

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and movement when you stand on it, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Pontprennau questions

Will it make a mess?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Pontprennau

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repair or replace in Pontprennau?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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