Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Shower tray repair in Mill Common, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Common problems we fix in Mill Common
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
