Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Shower tray repair in Barkston Heath without replacing anything

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches in the surface, in enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Barkston Heath and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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.

Questions from Barkston Heath

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Barkston Heath?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Are there extra charges for Barkston Heath?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
