Our hiring checklist

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. We’re often asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

FAQs for Milton

Which areas do you work in?

All of Southend-on-Sea, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Landlord and trade work in Milton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Milton

  • Acrylic

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
