FAQs for Smithfield

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you work in Smithfield?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Smithfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Repair or replace in Smithfield?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our full price list.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Do you need shower tray repair in Smithfield?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

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

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.

Landlord and trade work in Smithfield

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Smithfield, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
