Shower Tray Repair for Millerhill homes
Damaged shower tray in Millerhill? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Shower tray repair at your home in Millerhill
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and scuffs and light scratches, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
