Ford: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Ford?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you come to Ford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ford. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What else we do in Ford
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Ford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Ford
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer 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.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
