For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Common questions in Hyde

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hyde.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
