Landlord and trade work in Tilford

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area

Tilford questions

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

How soon can you come?

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 a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

When to call us in Tilford

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Tilford

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
