Common questions in Mill End
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
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.
Do you need shower tray repair in Mill End?
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
