Landlord and trade work in Miltonduff
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Miltonduff as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, 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 for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What else we do in Miltonduff
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Miltonduff
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Common problems we fix in Miltonduff
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface
- A crack across the base

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Miltonduff, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Miltonduff
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Miltonduff and the rest of Moray. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
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 the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Miltonduff?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
