Trusted shower tray repair in Ashford

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Ashford

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common problems we fix in Ashford

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Ashford

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Related advice

Ashford: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
