Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Shower tray repair in Mill Hill, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and chipped corners or rims, in ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Mill Hill and across Blackburn with Darwen.

Work for landlords and builders

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

When to call us in Mill Hill

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Mill Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our pricing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Mill Hill questions

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do I have to be there?

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