Landlord and trade work in Salcott-cum-Virley
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there. In a village or hamlet like Salcott-cum-Virley, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Salcott-cum-Virley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Salcott-cum-Virley

- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
