FAQs for Cann Common

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you cover Cann Common?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cann Common. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long before I can shower?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Cann Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace in Cann Common?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
