FAQs for Askomill

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

When can you do it?

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Askomill

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Common problems we fix in Askomill

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Askomill

If you manage property in Askomill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Askomill

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Askomill. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
