Your questions about shower tray repair in Leicester Forest West
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Leicester Forest West and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Leicester Forest West?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Leicester Forest West. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Leicester Forest West

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
