Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common problems we fix in Leasgill

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Leasgill

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leasgill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Questions from Leasgill

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Leasgill. Our prices are the same everywhere.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
