10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stroud Green

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

For anyone letting property in or around Stroud Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stroud Green. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Stroud Green

Stroud Green: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Stroud Green

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stroud Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
