Repairing versus replacing in Milton
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually 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. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, 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, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we are called out for in Milton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Damage around the waste
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
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, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
FAQs for Milton
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Milton included. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Do you work in Milton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Milton and the rest of Stoke-on-Trent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
