About our shower tray repair in Langley Common
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Langley Common and across Wokingham.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Langley Common: your questions answered
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Langley Common and the rest of Wokingham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Places near Langley Common
What else we do in Langley Common
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, 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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Langley Common
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Look out for these signs:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A cracked shower tray
- Damage from a refit or building work

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
