How we handle shower tray repair in Lydiard Millicent

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re often asked to fix a cracked shower tray and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Lydiard Millicent, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Lydiard Millicent get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Lydiard Millicent

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Lydiard Millicent?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Swindon.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Do you need shower tray repair in Lydiard Millicent?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
