Landlords, agents and businesses in High Cross

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in High Cross

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for High Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Signs you need shower tray repair in High Cross

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Common reasons people in High Cross contact us include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
