DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Kempston Church End: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bedford Borough.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Kempston Church End. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Repairing versus replacing in Kempston Church End

The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
