Shower tray repair for Ford homes

About our shower tray repair in Ford

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 so the repair blends in. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that flexes, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Common questions in Ford

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Ford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Ford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Do you need shower tray repair in Ford?

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price
