Canons Ashby: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Shower tray repair at your home in Canons Ashby

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting, we can normally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
