Common questions in South Stoke
I let a flat near Cholsey station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes. We fix shower trays between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Can you repair shower trays at a school or business in South Stoke?
Yes, and we are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. We’ll agree timings that suit the building.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Replacement in South Stoke means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in South Stoke
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Stoke use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead. In a village or hamlet like South Stoke, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes cost nothing and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
When to call us in South Stoke
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
If you let a flat or house near Cholsey station (about 1.8 miles north-west), we repair shower trays between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.
