Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What else we do in Milden
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: 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
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Milden
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Common problems we fix in Milden
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
