Do you need shower tray repair in Ashton?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ashton. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you are in Ashton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

Landlord and trade work in Ashton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
