How we handle shower tray repair in Shinfield
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged area around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shinfield and across Reading.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What else we do in Shinfield
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shinfield, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Shinfield
Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
Your questions about shower tray repair in Shinfield
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are there extra charges for Shinfield?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Shinfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
