Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Older homes around Colthrop may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Colthrop
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it. In a village or hamlet like Colthrop, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Common problems we fix in Colthrop
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scuffs and light scratches
Rented homes near Thatcham station (about 0.5 miles south-west) change hands often, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.
