Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Upper Swanmore

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Upper Swanmore

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common problems we fix in Upper Swanmore

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is it messy?

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

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
