Ashwater questions

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Ashwater is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How we handle shower tray repair in Ashwater

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and damage around the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Ashwater

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Ashwater

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

What affects the price in Ashwater

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Ashwater

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashwater as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Ashwater?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
