For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Roston

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Common reasons people in Roston contact us include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Roston. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Roston

How soon can you come?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
