How we handle shower tray repair in Ford
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and staining and dullness across the tray.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Ford
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Ford

Repairing versus replacing in Ford
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we’re called out for in Ford
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ford
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
