Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Milford questions
How much does shower tray repair cost in Milford?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

What else we do in Milford
Do you need shower tray repair in Milford?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips caused during fitting
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
For a price in Milford, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Milford
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
