Landlords, agents and businesses in Forden
If you manage property in Forden, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Shower tray repair in Forden, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scratches in the surface.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

When to call us in Forden
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Forden

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Forden
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Forden?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:

- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Forden. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
