About our shower tray repair in Ashford in the Water
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and staining and dullness across the tray, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ashford in the Water. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Ashford in the Water
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
