Shower tray repair in Read, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and scratches in the surface.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Read questions
Do you work in Read?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Read for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Read
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
