Questions from Carroway Head
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?
The entire UK, including all of Birmingham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Shower tray repair in Carroway Head without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repair or replace in Carroway Head?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need shower tray repair in Carroway Head?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
