About our shower tray repair in Dudley Hill
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and a tray that flexes, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dudley Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
For a price in Dudley Hill, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in Dudley Hill
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Dudley Hill questions
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
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 or gets worse.
