Shower Tray Repair for Forbes homes
Local shower tray repair for Forbes: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

When to call us in Forbes
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scuffs and light scratches
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again

- How to look after the finish
What affects the price in Forbes
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Forbes. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Forbes questions
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Forbes is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you cover Forbes?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Forbes. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
