Shower tray repair in Reach without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and damage around the waste.
For a rural address like Reach, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll organise the visit.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Reach
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Reach use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on. For a rural address like Reach, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price

Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in Reach?
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. For a rural home like those around Reach, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
