Shower tray repair in Forgewood without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Forgewood: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What else we do in Forgewood
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Same prices wherever you are

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Forgewood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
