Landlord and trade work in Trowell

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trowell use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Trowell: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs

See our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Trowell

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
