In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and a tray that flexes.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Ford's Green
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ford's Green. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Ford's Green
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ford's Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Do you need shower tray repair in Ford's Green?
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
