Clipstone: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Central Bedfordshire.

What areas do you cover?

All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clipstone

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clipstone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Clipstone, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Clipstone

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our prices page.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
