Shower tray repair at your home in West Ashling
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

West Ashling: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel

Repairing versus replacing in West Ashling
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
