Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whaddon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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.

Honest limits

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Whaddon questions

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you come to Whaddon?

We do. Technicians travel to Whaddon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Whaddon?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Whaddon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Chips on the edges
