We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We are frequently asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and movement when you stand on it, in enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Ashkirk

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Ashkirk?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TD7 postcode.

What do you need from me?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Are there extra charges for Ashkirk?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Do you need shower tray repair in Ashkirk?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included

Should you replace it?

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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ashkirk. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
