Landlords, agents and businesses in Coundon

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Shower tray repair at your home in Coundon

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray, across enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

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 give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What we’re called out for in Coundon

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
