Shower tray repair in Trench Green

How we handle shower tray repair in Trench Green

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Reading.

Trench Green questions

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Trench Green?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your RG4 postcode.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Trench Green

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Trench Green. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
