Landlord and trade work in Drayton

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we handle shower tray repair in Drayton

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We are frequently asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole, across cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Drayton

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

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

FAQs for Drayton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long before I can shower?

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

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

The entire UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

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 will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Drayton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Drayton and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Drayton

  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
