Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North Finchley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in North Finchley

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you work in North Finchley?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to North Finchley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What we’re called out for in North Finchley

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in North Finchley

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
