How we handle shower tray repair in Milborne Wick

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Milborne Wick and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we are called out for in Milborne Wick

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Milborne Wick

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
