Landlords, agents and businesses in Braithwaite
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Braithwaite as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Braithwaite get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Braithwaite: your questions answered
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Braithwaite?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What else we do in Braithwaite
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Repair or replace in Braithwaite?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
