Shower tray repair in West Ashton

Shower tray repair in West Ashton without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and chips caused during fitting.

Rural addresses like West Ashton just need a little planning, and we will organise the visit.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Ashton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

When to call us in West Ashton

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

If you let a flat or house near Trowbridge station (about 2.2 miles north-west), we repair shower trays between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered

Questions from West Ashton

Do you come out to small places like West Ashton?

Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

I let a flat near Trowbridge station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes. Send photos and the address, and we will quote, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are there extra charges for West Ashton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, West Ashton included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for West Ashton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there. In a village or hamlet like West Ashton, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 generally cheaper.

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

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
