Shower tray repair in Birdholme, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Birdholme
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Birdholme?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Birdholme, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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 clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S40 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
