What affects the price in Inkpen Common
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
When to call us in Inkpen Common
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
FAQs for Inkpen Common
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Do you come to Inkpen Common?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Inkpen Common for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
