How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

When to call us in Milehouse

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Milehouse: your questions answered

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Milehouse?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL2 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Milehouse?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Milehouse for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Milehouse, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Milehouse. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Milehouse?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start 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.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
