Shower tray repair in Swindon

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swindon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

Shower tray repair in Swindon without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste, in stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Swindon

What happens after I send photos?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Swindon?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Swindon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

When to call us in Swindon

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Swindon. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
