We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rushmere St Andrew. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

- One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Rushmere St Andrew
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A cracked shower tray

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
