Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Polsloe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

About our shower tray repair in Polsloe

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and cracks running from the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Polsloe

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes 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 whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

Repairing versus replacing in Polsloe

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Polsloe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Polsloe customers choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Polsloe: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Polsloe?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
