Landlord and trade work in Brandeston

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Brandeston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Brandeston questions

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Brandeston. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Brandeston

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Brandeston

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When to call us in Brandeston

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Most clients in Brandeston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

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