Landlords, agents and businesses in Ilmington

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ilmington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Shower tray repair at your home in Ilmington

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Warwickshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Common problems we fix in Ilmington

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ilmington questions

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you work in Ilmington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ilmington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
