Landlord and trade work in Pool

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

FAQs for Pool

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Do you come to Pool?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Pool and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Pool customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
