Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Questions from Melbury Sampford
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you come to Melbury Sampford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Melbury Sampford and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
