About our shower tray repair in Forgeside
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Forgeside
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour-matched on site

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Forgeside. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Forgeside. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Forgeside
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Torfaen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
