Work for landlords and builders

Shower tray repair in Lendings without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches in the surface, in stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What else we do in Lendings
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
