How we handle shower tray repair in College Town
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and a cracked shower tray.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in College Town and across Bracknell Forest.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
FAQs for College Town
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What affects the price in College Town
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for College Town. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in College Town get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When to call us in College Town
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlord and trade work in College Town
If you manage property in College Town, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in College Town as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
