Shower tray repair near Little Mill

Shower tray repair in Little Mill without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you’re dealing with cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Little Mill

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Little Mill

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Little Mill questions

Are there extra charges for Little Mill?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Little Mill.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

When to call us in Little Mill

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Little Mill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
