About our shower tray repair in Millend

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 crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

FAQs for Millend

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When can you do it?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

When to call us in Millend

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Common reasons people in Millend contact us include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Millend use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
