Landlord and trade work in Shiplake Cross
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
