Landlord and trade work in Alpington

FAQs for Alpington

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Alpington

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When to call us in Alpington

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
