Landlord and trade work in Chilworth

Letting agents often 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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Chilworth

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Chilworth, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Chilworth

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Questions from Chilworth

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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.

Do you cover the entire of Southampton?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
