Signs you need shower tray repair in Mitnell

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Mitnell

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Mitnell questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you cover Mitnell?

We do. We send a technician to Mitnell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
