Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When to call us in Makeney
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
