About our shower tray repair in Bearwood
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Bearwood questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your B67 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bearwood
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bearwood as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Common problems we fix in Bearwood
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bearwood. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your B67 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
