Shower tray repair in Forward Green, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scuffs and light scratches.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
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.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Forward Green
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Forward Green?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What we are called out for in Forward Green
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Look out for any of the following:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Forward Green. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
