How we handle shower tray repair in Five Ashes
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and chipped corners or rims, across stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Five Ashes: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Common problems we fix in Five Ashes
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

- A tray that flexes
- Damage from a refit or building work

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Five Ashes, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Five Ashes
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
