DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Pimperne

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we are called out for in Pimperne

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures 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.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.
