Asfordby: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Asfordby?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What affects the price in Asfordby
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Asfordby and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Asfordby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Asfordby
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
