Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Creetown use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How we handle shower tray repair in Creetown

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and scratches from cleaning or grit.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need shower tray repair in Creetown?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

Common questions in Creetown

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Creetown.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What affects the price in Creetown

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

We don’t add 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.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
