Shower tray repair at your home in Forstal
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and scratches from cleaning or grit, in ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repairing versus replacing in Forstal
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common questions in Forstal
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Forstal, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Forstal and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we are called out for in Forstal
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste

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 normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
