Shower tray repair for Millholme homes

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Shower tray repair in Millholme, done in place

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Millholme questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you come to Millholme?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Millholme. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Landlord and trade work in Millholme

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Millholme get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we’re called out for in Millholme

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
