FAQs for Levens

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Levens?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Levens

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
