How shower tray repair works in Reading
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and movement when you stand on it, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
What you’ll pay
Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Reading. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Caversham’s nearest station is Reading station, roughly 1.3 miles south of the centre.

Common problems we fix in Reading
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips caused during fitting
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Questions from Reading
Which areas do you work in?
All of Reading, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Reading.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
