What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
When to call us in Foals Green
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Foals Green clients choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Foals Green questions
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit

Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
