Landlords, agents and businesses in Ford
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
See our prices page.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What we are called out for in Ford
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What affects the price in Ford
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common questions in Ford
