Landlord and trade work in South Hampstead

If you manage property in South Hampstead, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in South Hampstead

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about shower tray repair in South Hampstead

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to South Hampstead?

We do. We send a technician to South Hampstead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What areas do you cover?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

  • Damage around the waste

Our hiring checklist

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found 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 whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
