How we handle shower tray repair in Bracknell
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the day after. We will confirm before we leave.

Repair or replace in Bracknell?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
