Trusted shower tray repair in Ashwell

Shower tray repair in Ashwell without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and a cracked shower tray, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ashwell and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ashwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
