The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

Advice
About our shower tray repair in Forestside
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and scuffs and light scratches, in cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Forestside
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Forestside questions
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Forestside and the rest of Hampshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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 isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel

When to call us in Forestside
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
