Shower tray repair in Bournbrook without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and a tray that flexes, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
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.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Bournbrook
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Birmingham.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Bournbrook
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
