Shower tray repair at your home in Wokingham
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wokingham.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
FAQs for Wokingham
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Wokingham?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Wokingham?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Wokingham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wokingham
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What else we do in Wokingham
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

What affects the price in Wokingham
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RG40 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
