Need shower tray repair in Garlinge Green?

Landlord and trade work in Garlinge Green

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

About our shower tray repair in Garlinge Green

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Garlinge Green and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When to call us in Garlinge Green

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Garlinge Green

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Garlinge Green?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you cover Garlinge Green?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Garlinge Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  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 entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
