For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorne St Margaret as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Thorne St Margaret

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

Thorne St Margaret questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after 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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Advice

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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