FAQs for Shiplake
Will you travel to Shiplake?
Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
Can you fix shower trays in a rental near Wargrave station?
Yes, we often work between tenancies, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Shower tray repair in Shiplake, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base, we can help.
Somewhere like Shiplake, showers are frequently in converted or older buildings, where floors may be timber. A crack is only repaired once we know the tray is firm.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shiplake. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Shiplake
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that flexes
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Landlords with property near Wargrave station (about 0.9 miles east) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Older homes around Shiplake may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
