Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farewell use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Farewell, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Shower tray repair in Farewell, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

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

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, 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 whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Farewell. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Farewell, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Farewell

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long before I can shower?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
