For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bridgend and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Blackmill

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Repairing versus replacing in Blackmill

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Blackmill

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Blackmill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Blackmill

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

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, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. 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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
