When to call us in Millness
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Most customers in Millness get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Millness
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Millness?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LA7 postcode.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you cover Millness?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Millness from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Repair or replace in Millness?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

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 it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
