Shower tray repair near Gardeners Green

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Shower tray repair in Gardeners Green, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and scratches in the surface, in cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlord and trade work in Gardeners Green

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Gardeners Green

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Wokingham.

Repair or replace in Gardeners Green?

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. Prices start from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Gardeners Green

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

When to call us in Gardeners Green

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
