Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newbridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

About our shower tray repair in Newbridge

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and staining and dullness across the tray.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. 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.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There is 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
