Landlords, agents and businesses in West Pentire

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including West Pentire. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in West Pentire

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much does shower tray repair cost in West Pentire?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes
