Landlord and trade work in Elton
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 are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What else we do in Elton
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Common questions in Elton
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Elton
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- A cracked shower tray
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
