What we are called out for in Benham Hill
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray

About our shower tray repair in Benham Hill
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Benham Hill
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Benham Hill
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Benham Hill and the rest of West Berkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What we do, step by step
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. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
