Landlord and trade work in Malborough

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

FAQs for Malborough

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you need shower tray repair in Malborough?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Common reasons people in Malborough contact us include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

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. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Malborough. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
