Landlords, agents and businesses in Acton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Shower tray repair in Acton, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Acton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Acton

Will you leave a mess?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cheshire East, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Common problems we fix in Acton

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
