Shower tray repair in Ashingdon

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Shower tray repair at your home in Ashingdon

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ashingdon

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

When to call us in Ashingdon

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What affects the price in Ashingdon

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ashingdon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Ashingdon

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Ashingdon?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How long before I can shower?

Normally the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashingdon

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
