How we handle shower tray repair in Ford
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a damaged area around the waste.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth.

Do you need shower tray repair in Ford?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Common reasons people in Ford contact us include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
