How the visit 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 leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Repairing versus replacing in Birch
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birch use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Questions from Birch
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Are there extra charges for Birch?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Birch. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
