Ashmore: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Ashmore?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ashmore. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

When to call us in Ashmore

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashmore

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
