Landlords, agents and businesses in Southgate

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

FAQs for Southgate

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your N14 postcode.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Southgate

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. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
