Common questions in Finchley

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you work in Finchley?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Finchley?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Shower tray repair in Finchley without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and damage around the waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What affects the price in Finchley

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

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlord and trade work in Finchley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Take a look at our prices page.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Finchley

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
