Shower tray repair in Asby without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Asby. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Asby

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Your questions about shower tray repair in Asby

Do you cover Asby?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Asby. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.
