Landlord and trade work in Alvescot
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our shower tray repair in Alvescot
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches, in ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we are called out for in Alvescot
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
What to look for in a quote

Alvescot questions
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Alvescot
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Alvescot, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
