Landlord and trade work in Shawford
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shawford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Shower tray repair in Shawford, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from Shawford
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
