Shower tray repair for Milford homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Milford

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Signs 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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A damaged area around the waste

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s 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 will reply with a fixed quote.

Milford: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Are there extra charges for Milford?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
