Is a cracked tray repairable?

Do you come to Cuckoo's Nest?
We do. Technicians travel to Cuckoo's Nest from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

You will get the exact time when we finish.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cuckoo's Nest. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Cuckoo's Nest, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
