Landlords, agents and businesses in Picton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Picton: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What affects the price in Picton

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Picton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Picton

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Picton customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
