We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What else we do in Milton of Leys
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
What affects the price in Milton of Leys
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Milton of Leys questions
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Common problems we fix in Milton of Leys
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Milton of Leys, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
