FAQs for Theale

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Theale and the rest of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Theale. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Theale

Do you need shower tray repair in Theale?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
