Landlord and trade work in Tye Green

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

About our shower tray repair in Tye Green

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. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and chips on the edges.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Tye Green

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.

Do you work in Tye Green?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Tye Green?

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. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Tye Green. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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 feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
