What we are called out for in Milborne St Andrew
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milborne St Andrew use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Common questions in Milborne St Andrew
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Milborne St Andrew. Prices do not change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are there extra charges for Milborne St Andrew?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Milborne St Andrew?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DT11 postcode.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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 can be filled and matched.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
Repairing versus replacing in Milborne St Andrew
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
