About our shower tray repair in Four Ashes
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a crack across the base, on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Questions from Four Ashes
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Four Ashes.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Four Ashes
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Landlord and trade work in Four Ashes
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Four Ashes use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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 it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
