Landlord and trade work in Stockbridge
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stockbridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How we handle shower tray repair in Stockbridge
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stockbridge. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. 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.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Questions from Stockbridge
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Stockbridge?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
