How we handle shower tray repair in Milton

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Milton

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Milton questions

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

We cover the entire UK, including Milton and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Milton. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Milton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
