The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Milking Nook: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Milking Nook?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Milking Nook

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Milking Nook

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Milking Nook

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
