Shower Tray Repair for Arborfield homes
Shower tray repair for Arborfield, without a refit. Get a fixed price from your photos, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips on the edges
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Shower tray repair at your home in Arborfield
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and a crack across the base, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Arborfield
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the 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.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
