Birchgrove questions
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What we’re called out for in Birchgrove
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
What affects the price in Birchgrove
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
