Signs you need shower tray repair in Ford

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Ford questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the whole of Herefordshire?

The whole UK, including all of Herefordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Ford?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your HR6 postcode.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HR6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
