About our shower tray repair in Ashley Down
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and a dull, stained or worn surface.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Ashley Down
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bristol and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ashley Down. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ashley Down. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Ashley Down
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit

Common questions in Ashley Down
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

All of Bristol, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
