Shower Tray Repair for Ashwick homes
Fixed-price shower tray repair in Ashwick and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Shower tray repair in Ashwick, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BA3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Ashwick questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?
We cover the entire UK, including Ashwick and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ashwick?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BA3 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
