What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Repair or replace in Mill Street?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: 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.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Mill Street. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Questions from Mill Street

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you come to Mill Street?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Mill Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
