Your questions about shower tray repair in Five Ash Down
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Five Ash Down
If you manage property in Five Ash Down, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Five Ash Down
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Five Ash Down get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
