Landlord and trade work in Shortheath

If you manage property in Shortheath, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Shortheath

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Shortheath

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Shortheath

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover Shortheath?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shortheath from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repair or replace in Shortheath?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 generally the cheaper route.
