Shower tray repair in Askerswell without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and a crack across the base.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Askerswell questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover Askerswell?
We do. We send a technician to Askerswell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Askerswell is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
