Landlords, agents and businesses in Odell

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

For anyone letting property in or around Odell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Odell

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Odell

Do you cover the whole of Bedford Borough?

All of Bedford Borough, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Odell.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
