How we handle shower tray repair in Ashdon
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix chips caused during fitting and a dull, stained or worn surface, on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Common questions in Ashdon
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work in Ashdon?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ashdon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashdon
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace in Ashdon?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
