Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ashen

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you work in Ashen?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ashen and the rest of Suffolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Ashen

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for these signs:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ashen, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repair or replace in Ashen?

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. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. 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.
