Book shower tray repair in Larkton

Landlord and trade work in Larkton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Shower tray repair in Larkton without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Larkton

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Larkton. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Larkton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Larkton

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Cheshire West and Chester. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When to call us in Larkton

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
