How we handle shower tray repair in Fordham
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about damage from a refit or building work and a dull, stained or worn surface.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, 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. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Fordham
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic

- A crack across the base

Repair or replace in Fordham?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
