DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairing versus replacing in Fforest
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Fforest?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips caused during fitting

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Fforest?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fforest. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
