If your shower tray has developed unsightly chips, worrying cracks, or stubborn stains, professional shower tray repair Reigate services can restore it to pristine condition without the cost and disruption of replacement. From Victorian properties near Reigate Castle to modern developments along the A25, we've been solving shower tray problems for local residents for over 30 years.
Reigate's mix of historic market town charm and commuter convenience means properties range from Grade II listed buildings requiring careful restoration to executive new builds with designer bathrooms. Each presents unique shower tray challenges - older homes often have heavy cast iron or ceramic trays prone to chipping, while newer properties feature sleek resin trays that can crack under thermal stress. Our comprehensive repair service addresses every type of damage, backed by our industry-leading 12 months warranty.
Most homeowners don't realize that 90% of shower tray damage is completely repairable. Common issues we encounter in Reigate include impact chips from dropped bottles, stress cracks from house settlement, and surface deterioration from harsh cleaning products. Each requires a different repair approach, which our 30 years of experience has perfected.
Impact Damage: The most frequent repair request in shower tray repair Reigate calls. Whether it's a small chip or a sizeable chunk missing, we rebuild the damaged area using color-matched compounds that bond at a molecular level. The repair becomes part of the tray structure, not just a surface patch.
Crack Repairs: Cracks typically appear due to movement in wooden floors, common in Reigate's older properties around Bell Street and the High Street conservation area. We use flexible repair systems that move with the natural flex of your floor, preventing re-cracking. This is crucial for period properties where some movement is inevitable.
Surface Restoration: Years of use can leave shower trays looking tired and stained. Our resurfacing process strips away damage and applies a new protective coating. This works particularly well on the acrylic trays common in 1980s-2000s properties throughout South Park and Woodhatch.
Seal Failures: Often overlooked but critical - failed seals cause more damage than the tray problems themselves. We remove old sealant completely and apply premium marine-grade replacements that last years, not months.
Replacing a shower tray in Reigate typically costs £1,200-£3,000 when you factor in the tray, labour, tiling, and potential plumbing modifications. The disruption lasts 3-5 days, leaving you without shower facilities. Professional repair costs just £195-£495, completes in 2-3 hours, and comes with our 12 months warranty.
Consider this real example: A family in Wray Common had three quotes for replacing their cracked stone-resin tray, ranging from £1,800 to £2,400.

Our shower tray repair Reigate service covers the entire RH2 postcode and surrounding areas. We regularly work in Reigate town centre, from properties near the station to homes around Priory Park.

A stunning apartment conversion near Reigate Priory had a valuable Victorian ceramic tray with multiple chips around the waste area. The property management company had budgeted £2,200 for replacement. Our specialist repair took 3 hours, cost £285, and preserved this original feature. The 12 months warranty gave them confidence to cancel the replacement plans entirely.
Last week, we repaired a badly cracked resin tray in a 5-year-old Redhill property near the Memorial Park. The homeowner was devastated thinking they'd need to rip out their recently fitted bathroom. Our technician sealed the crack, reinforced the base, and color-matched perfectly. Total cost: £345, saving them thousands and preserving their beautiful bathroom.
A Merstham landlord called about a damaged shower tray between tenancies. The acrylic tray had deep scratches and discoloration. Rather than lose rental income during replacement, we resurfaced it in one morning for £395. With our 12 months warranty, they confidently welcomed new tenants that weekend. Smart property management at its best.

Stone Resin Trays: Popular in Reigate's luxury developments, these premium trays require specialist repair techniques. We use color-stable compounds that match the stone particles perfectly. Our repairs on stone resin are so durable, they often outlast the original material around them.
Acrylic Shower Trays: Found in most homes built between 1980-2010, acrylic trays are prone to cracking and discoloration. Our chemical welding process fuses new acrylic to the existing structure, creating an invisible repair that's guaranteed for 12 months but typically lasts much longer.
Ceramic & Enamel: Common in older Reigate properties and premium installations. Chips in ceramic can be sharp and dangerous. We rebuild using ceramic polymers, then glaze to match the original finish exactly. With 30 years perfecting this technique, our ceramic repairs are virtually undetectable.
Fiberglass Trays: Lightweight but prone to stress cracks. We reinforce from beneath using marine-grade materials, then surface repair to perfection. Many Reigate park homes and annexes have fiberglass trays we've successfully restored.
