Cole's Green questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you come to Cole's Green?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cole's Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What affects the price in Cole's Green

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlord and trade work in Cole's Green

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
