How we handle shower tray repair in Fordstreet
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and a tray that flexes, in ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Rural addresses like Fordstreet just need a little planning, and we will organise the visit.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fordstreet
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fordstreet as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Questions from Fordstreet
Can you fix shower trays at a school or business in Fordstreet?
Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Will you travel to Fordstreet?
Yes, we do: small places like Fordstreet are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes. For a rural address like Fordstreet, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Older homes around Fordstreet may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
