How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mildmay
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Mildmay

Repairing versus replacing in Mildmay
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Mildmay. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
