Can I fix it myself?
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 usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Shower tray repair in Arborfield Garrison without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Reading and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
FAQs for Arborfield Garrison
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

We do. We send a technician to Arborfield Garrison for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
