How we handle shower tray repair in Ash

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and a cracked shower tray, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Ash

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

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

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

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

10 questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Ash

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Ash?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TA12 postcode.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover Ash?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
