FAQs for Ryal Fold
Do you cover Ryal Fold?
We do. We send a technician to Ryal Fold for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Ryal Fold included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ryal Fold. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ryal Fold, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Ryal Fold
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the edges
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
