Shower tray repair in Milton, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Milton and across Portsmouth.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
FAQs for Milton
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Milton
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
