Signs you need shower tray repair in Ashculme

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashculme

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Ashculme

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ashculme. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ashculme, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Questions from Ashculme

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
