Milltown questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Derbyshire.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Repair or replace in Milltown?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What else we do in Milltown
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Milltown. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
