Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stowell as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Shower tray repair in Stowell without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and chipped corners or rims, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Stowell and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Stained shower tray resurfaced to clean white, before and after

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Report any creaking or movement early

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

First, we check whether the tray moves.
The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to make a slippery bath safer

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not 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 damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
