Pontshill: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you work in Pontshill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pontshill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Shower tray repair in Pontshill, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips on the edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pontshill

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Pontshill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Pontshill

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common problems we fix in Pontshill

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
