How we handle shower tray repair in Lower Shiplake
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Shiplake
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Lower Shiplake
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landlord and trade work in Lower Shiplake
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Lower Shiplake
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
