Landlords, agents and businesses in Shelton

For anyone letting property in or around Shelton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Shelton

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SY3 postcode.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day 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. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
