How we handle shower tray repair in Fordhouses
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Fordhouses questions
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Fordhouses
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area

Honest limits
