Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Cape Hill, Birmingham
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing at your home in Cape Hill, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scuffs and light scratches
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Shower tray repair in Cape Hill without replacing anything
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common problems we fix in Cape Hill
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the edges
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A dull, stained or worn surface

- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Cape Hill questions
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cape Hill.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cape Hill, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Cape Hill
Landlord and trade work in Cape Hill
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cape Hill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Birmingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
