For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common problems we fix in Branchton

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.

Questions from Branchton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Branchton included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. 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 early repairs help.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Repairing versus replacing in Branchton

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
