Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

Common questions in Slape Cross
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you work in Slape Cross?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Slape Cross and the rest of Somerset. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Slape Cross use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit

- Clear the area around the damage

Related advice
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
