Landlord and trade work in Kilhallon
For developers and builders, we fix 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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for 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 reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kilhallon, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
