How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Richmond upon Thames

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TW9 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
