How we handle shower tray repair in Birmingham
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Birmingham
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your B31 postcode.

Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

What affects the price in Birmingham
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Birmingham. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Birmingham
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Look out for these signs:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
