Landlord and trade work in Burford

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Burford

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Burford?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

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

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What affects the price in Burford

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Burford. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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