Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coleford Water. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Coleford Water

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairing versus replacing in Coleford Water

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
