Landlord and trade work in South Witham

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.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

South Witham questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
