Common questions in Milton Common
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
Common problems we fix in Milton Common
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for these signs:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
Before booking anyone
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
