Shower Tray Repair for Forestdale homes
Our repair technicians come to Forestdale for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price

Other services in Forestdale
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
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.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Forestdale
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Forestdale?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
