How we handle shower tray repair in Ford

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a damaged area around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from Ford

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are there extra charges for Ford?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Ford customers choose us

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
