About our shower tray repair in Folke
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We’re frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and damage around the waste, across enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Folke and across Dorset.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Folke. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we’re called out for in Folke
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A damaged area around the waste

What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Folke

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Folke
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you come to Folke?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Folke and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Folke and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
