Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Signs you need shower tray repair in Milton

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Common questions in Milton

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

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.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Milton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
