Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Durweston: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Durweston?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What affects the price in Durweston
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Durweston. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Repairing versus replacing in Durweston
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

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.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
