Cold Ash: your questions answered
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Repairing versus replacing in Cold Ash
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What else we do in Cold Ash
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Berkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need shower tray repair in Cold Ash?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Common reasons people in Cold Ash contact us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
