About our shower tray repair in Milton on Stour

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, stained or worn surface and a crack across the base.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Milton on Stour and across Dorset.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Milton on Stour

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Are there extra charges for Milton on Stour?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Milton on Stour

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
