Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

About our shower tray repair in Upthorpe

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Upthorpe

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Upthorpe?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL11 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.

Are there extra charges for Upthorpe?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Upthorpe and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
