About our shower tray repair in Birdwood
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and damage around the waste.
In a village like Birdwood, showers are frequently later additions to older homes, and we always check the tray’s support first.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

- Stone resin
- Cast iron

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Older homes around Birdwood may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
