Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
If you are in Townsend and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we are called out for in Townsend
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t 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’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Townsend: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Townsend. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
