What affects the price in Croydon

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

How many areas need work
Whether we combine several jobs
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

Your postcode, so we can check dates
One sharp close-up of the damage
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A picture taken from further back

If you’re in Croydon and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Croydon

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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 day after.

Getting ready for the visit

Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Let us know if it has been repaired before
Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Croydon: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Croydon and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Croydon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
