Landlord and trade work in Four Crosses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Four Crosses, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are 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.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Four Crosses

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Four Crosses

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
