Landlord and trade work in Little Bealings

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Little Bealings

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

Rented homes near Woodbridge station (about 2.9 miles east) change hands frequently, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

What affects the price in Little Bealings

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again. Somewhere as small as Little Bealings, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can

Ask for a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. In an older home in a village like Little Bealings, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Prices start 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Little Bealings customers choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
