Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Milthorpe

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Milthorpe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Milthorpe

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
