Shower tray repair for Ashgate homes

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

About our shower tray repair in Ashgate

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Ashgate

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Ashgate?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we work on in Ashgate

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

When to call us in Ashgate

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Ashgate

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Ashgate get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Ashgate

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover Ashgate?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
