Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Common questions in Northleigh

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

When to call us in Northleigh

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Northleigh

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Northleigh. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Northleigh, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we work on in Northleigh

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Northleigh, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
