Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Forest Moor questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.
Landlord and trade work in Forest Moor
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
