How we handle shower tray repair in Old Forge
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips on the edges, in acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Old Forge and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When to call us in Old Forge

- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Other services in Old Forge
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Old Forge questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you cover the whole of Herefordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Old Forge included. Travel is included in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Old Forge
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HR9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
