Landlords, agents and businesses in Smallrice

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

If you manage property in Smallrice, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repair or replace in Smallrice?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Smallrice. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our full price list.

What affects the price in Smallrice

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

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

Common questions in Smallrice

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
