Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
About our shower tray repair in Mill End
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mill End as everywhere else we work.

Mill End questions
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Mill End?
We do. Technicians travel to Mill End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Mill End
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A damaged area around the waste
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
