Questions from Millbrook
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you come to Millbrook?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Millbrook. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Shower tray repair in Millbrook without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and damage around the waste, on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Southampton.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Millbrook. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SO15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Millbrook
Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
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.
