Shower tray repair in Birleyhay, done in place
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
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’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Birleyhay. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Birleyhay
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Birleyhay?
We do. We send a technician to Birleyhay for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What areas do you cover?
All of Sheffield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Birleyhay
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
