Shower tray repair in Milton Hill without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Milton Hill

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Milton Hill

Do you work in Milton Hill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Milton Hill and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Milton Hill.

Common problems we fix in Milton Hill

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Milton Hill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire 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 day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
