Trusted shower tray repair in Milton

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Shower tray repair in Milton without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and a crack across the base.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t 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 will get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Milton

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Milton. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OX14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Milton: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Milton included. Travel is included in the price.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Milton

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Milton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
