Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Landlord and trade work in Cosham

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

There is 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Cosham

Do you cover Cosham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cosham and the rest of Portsmouth. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Portsmouth.
