Shower tray repair near Staploe

Landlord and trade work in Staploe

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

How we handle shower tray repair in Staploe

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and damage around the waste.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. 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, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Staploe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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