FAQs for Carnon Downs
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What else we do in Carnon Downs
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, 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 will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carnon Downs
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.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What affects the price in Carnon Downs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
