Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Birchwood, Lincolnshire
Shower tray repair for Birchwood, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Shower tray repair in Birchwood, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and a cracked shower tray, across cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

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 early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What affects the price in Birchwood
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- 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
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Birchwood
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover Birchwood?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Birchwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you need shower tray repair in Birchwood?
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What else we do in Birchwood
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
