Repairing versus replacing in Reading
A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Shower tray repair in Reading without replacing anything
For a crack repair to last, the tray has to be solid underfoot, so we check that first. The tray stays in place, so the tiles and shower enclosure stay as they are. Our technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped bottles and a worn, rough surface.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Reading questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually by the next day, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex underfoot. If it moves when you stand on it, the support needs fixing first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses in Reading?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in Reading and across Wokingham.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Reading?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Do you protect the room?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces before we start, and clean up when we finish.
Can you resurface a stone resin tray?
Yes. We work on stone resin, acrylic, ceramic and steel trays.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
