How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Most clients in Threemilestone get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Shower tray repair in Threemilestone without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Threemilestone

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Threemilestone

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Threemilestone

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for these signs:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
