Landlord and trade work in Holloway Down

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we are called out for in Holloway Down

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  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. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Repair or replace in Holloway Down?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Holloway Down. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Holloway Down

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How long before I can shower?

Normally the day after. We will confirm before we leave.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Holloway Down

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
