Shower tray repair for Ashover homes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ashover

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Ashover is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I book?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How we handle shower tray repair in Ashover

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. If you’re dealing with a tray that flexes and chips on the edges, we can help, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashover

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashover as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ashover. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ashover. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area
