The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
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
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Fordwich, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Are there extra charges for Fordwich?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Fordwich
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
