Trusted shower tray repair in Garvestone

Landlord and trade work in Garvestone

If you manage property in Garvestone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

How we handle shower tray repair in Garvestone

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and scratches in the surface, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Garvestone

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

How to compare quotes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

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

FAQs for Garvestone

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What affects the price in Garvestone

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are 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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
