Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Shower tray repair in Forton, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Forton. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
For a price in Forton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common problems we fix in Forton
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before you book
